Innovative, systematic, and easy to understand, Health Assessment in Nursing has already helped thousands of RN-level students develop the comprehensive knowledge base and expert nursing assessment skills necessary for accurate collection of client data. In this revised Fifth Edition, the authors provide in-depth, accurate information, a compelling Continuing Case Study that covers every step in the assessment process, a focus on diversity and health assessment through the lifespan, a striking photo and illustration program that includes photos of practicing registered nurses and nurse practitioners performing assessments, dynamic online video clips and animations, and much more. Features • Continuing Case Study: Each chapter introduces a client with a health concern related to the chapter content; COLDSPA mnemonic is applied as the nurse explores the health concern; a physical assessment of the client is demonstrated; proper documentation technique is applied; diagnostic reasoning is applied and appropriate nursing conclusions are determined. • Collecting Subjective Data: The Nursing Health History table: Information is presented in 2 columns: Questions that the student will ask the client and Rationales explaining why the questions are important. Clinical Tips and cultural considerations are included to help highlight critical content. • Collecting Objective Data: Physical Examination table: Introduces ways to prepare the client for the examination including all equipment needed and key points to remember during the assessment. Physical examination procedures are fully illustrated in a step-by-step fashion across three columns: Assessment Procedure (explains and illustrates exactly how to perform specific aspects of the examination), Normal Findings and Abnormal Findings. • Displays of Abnormal Findings: Includes fully-illustrated, common abnormal findings, helping students to identify important distinctions. • Evidence-Based Health Promotion and Disease Prevention boxes contain Healthy People 2020 goals, Risk Assessment, and Client Education sections, and are an excellent resource for students to use to teach the client ways to reduce risk factors. • Case Study, threaded throughout the chapter, teaches the student how to apply the COLDSPA mnemonic, interview questions, physical assessment, and analysis of data to a particular client.
