Synopsis

Advanced Health Assessment and Clinical Diagnosis in Primary Care, 2/e is designed for beginning advanced practice students and/or novice clinicians who will be using history and physical examination skills in the clinical setting. Its purpose is to take the reader to the next step of health assessment, beyond basic history and physical examination and into a diagnostic reasoning process. It picks up where books like Seidel: Mosby's Guide to Physical Examination end. The text focuses the physical examination around a specific chief complaint rather than a diagnosis or disease entity. The primary care provider who masters the differential diagnosis in this text will be able to accurately diagnose the majority of patients seen in practice today. Each chapter is organized in five major areas. They are Diagnostic Reasoning: Focused History; Key Questions; Diagnostic Reasoning: Focused Physical Examination; Laboratory and Diagnostic Studies; and Differential Diagnosis. Key Questions are provided as a resource for the questions that should be asked next. Summary Differential Diagnosis tables provide a quick reference to important information.The consistent organization of content makes the book easier to read. A general bibliography list appears at the end of the book. Reorganizes the table of contents to list each chapter as a separate presenting problem Adds new chapters on Vision Loss, Syncope, Breast Pain, Sleep Problems, and Fatigue Contains a new section on musculoskeletal problems in children in the Limb Pain chapter A specific icon indicates pediatric information Includes key references in each chapter
