All the health assessment skills students need to think like a nurse

Health & Physical Assessment in Nursing helps nursing students master the art, science, and skills of health and physical assessment for the RN.

Taking a holistic approach, the text focuses on assessing the whole person and on recognising the diversity of patients and care settings. It imparts evidence-based knowledge and step-by-step skills alongside discussions of health, wellness, communication, and culture. The 4th edition adds three new chapters that cover the assessment of pediatric and older patients and that prepare students to document both subjective and objective findings.
