For courses covering health assessment.

All the health assessment skills a nurse needs to know

Health & Physical Assessment in Nursing provides step-by-step training in holistic health assessments that consider the diversity of patients and care settings. Geared toward pre-licensure nursing students, the text focuses on the most-used assessment skills but, in a final section, covers advanced assessment skills, distinguishing it from competing texts.

The 4th Edition adds three new chapters covering the assessment of pediatric and older patients, plus another new chapter on best practices for documenting both subjective and objective data. Evidence-based practice was added to each chapter to either support or debunk current practices.
