Advanced Health Assessment and Clinical Diagnosis in Primary Care by Joyce E. Dains

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!
