Physical Assessment for Nurses by Carol Cox
Physical assessment is a means of evaluating health status using a combination of clinical examination and history taking. A complete physical assessment should form the basis of all nursing care. "Physical Assessment for Nurses" is aimed at all advanced nurse practitioners and nurses preparing to become advanced nurse practitioners. It forms the foundation for extending practice. The text explores best practice in history taking and summarises the key clinical skills needed to develop and improve physical examination skills and to competently assess, diagnose, plan and provide care. "Physical Assessment for Nurses" is adapted for nurse practitioners from "Turner and Blackwood: Lecture Notes on Clinical Skills (Third edition)".
' This is one of the most concise, informative clinical books I have seen in a long timeIt will appeal to those clinicians moving into the field of undertaking and recording physical assessments and presenting findings and also provides enough material to act as a teaching resource for any level of children.' -Accident and Emergency Nursing
