Access physical assessment techniques in a flash-anytime, anywhere!
This concise and trusted reference provides authoritative guidance
on how to perform the patient interview, physical examination, and
other core assessments as well as how to apply clinical reasoning
and use shared decision-making in a quick-reference format-all
based on a firm understanding of clinical evidence. Bates' Pocket
Guide to Physical Examination and History Taking includes
illustrated, step-by-step techniques that outline the correct
performance of the physical examination in an easy-to-follow
two-column format featuring examination techniques on the left and
abnormalities (clearly indicated in red) with differential
diagnoses on the right. This highly regarded pocket guide also
covers special stages in the life cycle-infancy through
adolescence, pregnancy, and aging. New to the eighth edition: Text
boxes help readers quickly find important summaries of clinical
conditions and other relevant information. Many new and updated
photographs and illustrations support the text, and figures are now
numbered for easy identification and reference. Rewritten chapter
on evaluating clinical evidence clarifies key concepts to ensure
student understanding. Revised and expanded chapter on the skin,
hair, and nails includes new dermatology photographs and provides
the framework for assessing common lesions and abnormalities.
Updated behavior and mental status chapter now references DSM-5 .
Significantly revised information on obesity and nutrition
counseling; cardiovascular risk factor screening and new clinical
guidelines; new screening guidelines for breast cancer, colon
cancer, Papanicolau smears, and stroke risk factors; current
information on STIs; new geriatric assessment tools; and much more
provide essential clinical updates. New life-cycle content includes
an increased emphasis on cardiovascular health promotion and child
development; updated pregnancy topics such as weight gain,
substance abuse, and intimate partner violence; and new information
on the older adult, including frailty, immunizations, cancer
screening, cognitive decline and dementia screening, and a new
algorithm for falls prevention.
