Overview
Health & Physical Assessment in Nursing covers all the health assessment skills you'll need to think like a nurse. It will help you master the art, science and skills of health and physical assessment for the RN. Taking a holistic approach, the text focuses on assessing the whole person and recognizing the diversity of patients and care settings. It imparts evidence-based knowledge alongside discussions of health, wellness, communication and culture.
The 4th Edition adds three new chapters covering the assessment of pediatric and older patients. The new content prepares students to document both subjective and objective findings. Step-by-step demonstrations of physical assessment techniques in physical assessment chapters will help you translate your skills into practice.
