Take the next step in health assessment by building your skills in
diagnostic and clinical reasoning! Advanced Health Assessment &
Clinical Diagnosis in Primary Care, 7th Edition goes beyond the
basic physical examination to help you learn to accurately evaluate
common conditions. Organized by patient symptoms or complaints, the
book follows a systematic approach beginning with a chief concern
rather than a specific diagnosis or disease entity, then guides you
step-by-step through a diagnostic reasoning process to lead to a
clinical diagnosis. This edition includes new chapters on veterans'
health and on contemporary approaches in primary care settings, as
well as updated content on issues such as race, ethnicity, and
gender identity. Written by a team of advanced practitioners led by
Joyce E. Dains, this AJN award-winning text helps you learn to
think like an expert clinician. Clear, consistent diagnostic
reasoning process takes you to the next step of health assessment -
beyond basic history and physical examination to diagnostic
reasoning and clinical diagnosis. 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

problem and summarize the history and physical examination
findings, along with recommended laboratory and diagnostic studies.
