Description

Develop your diagnostic and clinical reasoning skills to advance in health evaluation! Advanced Health Assessment and Clinical Diagnosis in Primary Care, 7th Edition, expands on the fundamental physical examination to teach you how to effectively identify common illnesses. Organized by patient symptoms or complaints, the book takes a systematic approach, starting with a major worry rather than a specific diagnosis or disease entity and then guiding you step by step through a diagnostic reasoning process to a clinical diagnosis. This edition includes additional chapters on veterans’ health and current techniques in primary care settings, as well as updated information on race, ethnicity, and gender identity. Written by a group of advanced practitioners led by Joyce E. Dains.
