DESCRIPTION
Bates’ Nursing Guide to Physical Examination and HistoryTaking
provides the
foundation for learning assessment, a key nursing function that ensures
patients receive optimal care. This text, adapted specifically for nursing
students, maintains the trusted and time-perfected assessment techniques
and vibrant visuals from the classic Bates’. The book’s two-column format
delivers assessment information in a comprehensive, straightforward approach.
Presenting the normal patient throughout, with common or important problems
highlighted, each chapter reflects a strong evidence-based perspective. The
second edition maintains the important topics for real-word practice such as
complete head-to-toe examination, normal vs. abnormal findings, electronic
documentation, and considerations for assessment of older adults and children.
The text is completely updated with the most current research in health care
and nursing education. Material is thoughtfully organized into three units:
Foundations, Body Systems, and Special Lifespan Considerations. Bates’ Nursing
Guide is the classic approach that helps students develop and practice the
lifelong and timeless skills of patient assessment.
