Description
A new Nursing Health Assessment text designed to be a competitor to the leading text in the undergraduate nursing market, Physical Examination and Health Assessment by Jarvis (Elsevier). The proposed text will fill in the existing gap in LWW's nursing assessment list which currently comprises Weber (at the introductory level) and Bates (at the higher level). Exhaustive market research has guided our editorial plan for the text, which takes the "best of the best" features from Jarvis as well as other competitors in the market.
