A total of 1,200 illustrations, checklists of key exam steps, and practical insights ensure that you learn all the physical exam skills you need to know.

A two-column format distinguishes normal findings from abnormal findings, and uses step-by-step photos to clarify examination techniques and expected findings.
1,200 full-color illustrations present anatomy and physiology, examination techniques, and abnormal findings.
Abnormal findings tables include more than 300 pathophysiology photos to help in recognizing, sorting, and describing abnormalities.
Comprehensive coverage reflects the realities of today’s nursing practice:
NEW content on the Electronic Health Record, charting, and narrative recording provides examples of how to document assessment findings.
150 NEW normal and abnormal examination photos for the nose, mouth, throat, thorax, and pediatric assessment show findings that are unexpected or that require referral for follow-up care, with cultural diversity and developmental variations.

UPDATED case studies provide opportunities to apply your knowledge and develop your analytical skills.
Checklists for use in RN-to-BSN completion programs provide a refresher for seasoned nurses returning to the classroom.
A holistic approach to assessment accommodates the diverse types of patients that you will encounter in the real world:

Promoting a Healthy Lifestyle boxes enable patient teaching and health promotion while performing the health assessment, and now address the key concept of prevention.
