Pocket Guide to Pediatric Assessment

A concise, portable guide to the health assessment of children. This clinical reference combines a practical, how-to approach with biopsychosocial and developmental information pertinent to assessment techniques and findings. Significant abnormal findings are separated from expected, normal findings through the two-colour format that highlights clinical alerts. Extensive appendices provide a current and complete approach. Expanded content on family assessment is included, as well as a new chapter on child abuse to highlight assessment parameters for this concern. Updated immunization schedules for infants and children is also included.
