DESCRIPTION
Develop the patient assessment and clinical
skills you need with the Third Edition of Patient
Assessment in Pharmacy Practice. The only patient
assessment text in the field written specifically
for pharmacy students, this practical book relates
patient assessment and clinical skills to pharmacy
practice.
Now a “one-stop shop” for assessment and clinical
skills development, the companion eBook features
23 patient assessment video clips. Unlike other
assessment videos that depict assessments in a
doctor’s office, these videos depict assessments in
pharmacist-specific practice settings.
