Synopsis:
Renowned for its holistic perspective and "see and do" approach, this full-color, pocket-sized handbook offers step-by-step guidance on every phase of the nursing assessment-for adults, children, and special populations. The focus is on what nurses need to know to assess clients: the health history, physical examination, normal and abnormal findings, nursing interventions, and nursing diagnoses. This edition presents a complete update of all content and references, contains new chapters on mental status and assessing frail elderly clients, and includes the Canadian Food Pyramid. A bound-in CD-ROM includes a free PDA download of the chapter on assessing general status and vital signs.
