This up-to-date text will help beginning nursing students master essential physical and health assessment skills, and integrate those skills with critical thinking, nursing processes, age span... This description may be from another edition of this product.
In the process of developing an article on organizational diagnosis, I ran across the distinction between medical diagnosis (as done by physicians) and nursing diagnosis. The distinction had implications for developing a model of organizational diagnosis. Consequently, I needed a good resource to explain nursing diagnosis. This book not only provided that essential information, but did an excellent job of comparing nursing diagnosis to basic problem solving.
Good Lab Manual

This lab manual is a good companion to the textbook. It reinforces the skills and knowledge that you read from the main textbook. There are multiple choice questions and short answer questions to practice what you've learned. The sample documentation forms are very helpful. The only thing I wish it had were pertinent bullets of what to do for the physical assessment of each system.

This resource is simple and easy to follow, gives great diagrams and hands on demonstration guides. The lab manual (separate) is also a great investment when buying this textbook!
