Learn to accurately diagnose the majority of patients seen in
today's primary care settings! Advanced Health Assessment and
Clinical Diagnosis in Primary Care, 6th Edition goes beyond basic
history and physical examination skills to help you learn the
diagnostic reasoning process. You will develop this key skill by
following assessment guidelines that focus on a specific complaint
rather than beginning with a previously established diagnosis or
disease entity. Written by advanced practitioners, this edition
includes a new chapter on The Transgender Patient that gives you
the knowledge you need to properly assess and care for this
underserved patient population. It also features expanded coverage
of geriatrics, highly infectious diseases, coordination with the
interprofessional healthcare team, genetics/genomics in lab testing
and family history, updates on psychiatric-mental health problems,
and more! A clear, consistent diagnostic reasoning process takes
you to the next step of health assessment - beyond basic history
and physical examination to diagnostic reasoning. Diagnostic
Reasoning: Focused History sections use "self-questions" to walk
you through the thinking process involved in obtaining a pertinent,
relevant, problem-specific history that will assist in differential
diagnosis. Diagnostic Reasoning: Focused Physical Examination
sections explain how to perform more advanced diagnostic techniques
and interpret the findings. Key Questions guide you through
assessment and toward an accurate diagnosis by listing questions to
ask the patient, followed by explanations of what the patient's
responses might signify. Laboratory and Diagnostic Studies sections
outline the types of tests that might be appropriate based on the
focused history and focused physical examination. Differential
Diagnosis sections offer the most common diagnoses for each patient
problem and summarize the history and physical examination
findings, along with recommended laboratory and diagnostic studies.
Differential Diagnosis tables provide you with a quick-reference
summary of possible diagnoses for each patient problem.
