Designed for advanced practice nursing students and novice clinicians, ADVANCED HEALTH ASSESSMENT & CLINICAL DIAGNOSIS IN PRIMARY CARE is a practical resource that takes the readers to the "next step" of health assessment-beyond basic history and physical examination and into diagnostic reasoning process. Accessible and concise, it focuses on the physical examination around a specific chief complaint rather than a diagnosis or disease entity. Each chapter is organized in five major areas: Diagnostic Reasoning: Focused History; Key Questions; Diagnostic Reasoning: Focused Physical Examination; Laboratory and Diagnostic Studies; and Differential Diagnosis. The primary care provider who masters the differential diagnoses in this text will be able to accurately diagnose the majority of patients seen in practice today!
