Description
Quickly access interviewing and physical examination techniques and procedures with this portable guide! Seidel's Physical Examination Handbook: An Interprofessional Approach, 11th Edition, uses step-by-step guidelines to make exam procedures easier to review and recall. Overviews of the entire health history and physical exam address the full lifespan, from infants, children, and adolescents to older adults. Written by the same interprofessional team of advanced practice nurses and physicians as Seidel's Guide to Physical Examination, chapters in the handbook correspond to the chapters in the textbook. It's an ideal companion for use in clinicals and in daily practice!
Full-color, richly illustrated coverage depicts anatomy and physiology, examination procedures, and findings.
Examination tables and Aids to Differential Diagnosis tables provide quick-reference access to physical exam highlights in an easy-to-follow, two-column format for each regional exam.
Helpful assessment guidelines are highlighted in special sections, including Differential Diagnosis Tips, Pediatric Variations, and Sample Documentation.
Separate chapters provide in-depth coverage of age-specific exams for infants, children, adolescents, and older adults; the healthy female evaluation; and reporting and documenting findings for electronic charting.
UPDATED content throughout corresponds to the clinical content, emphases, and features of Seidel's Guide to Physical Examination: An Interprofessional Approach, 11th Edition.
