Description:

This resource is a detailed how-to guide to history-taking and physical assessment, from the specific complaint to the performing of a complete head-to-toe physical examination. Organized by system, each chapter begins with a summary of the anatomy, and follows with a step-by-step explanation of the process used to assess that particular system. The process includes a list of equipment required, a discussion of complaints and symptoms, an illustrated explanation of physical assessment techniques employed, and a discussion of the nature and significance of normal and abnormal findings.
