Product Description This comprehensive assessment text is designed as a learning system, with an innovative modular format that allows personal customization and ease of use. Clearly written and extensively illustrated -- in brilliant four-color -- the text provides in-depth, accurate information. Unit One provides a complete Overview of Nursing. Unit Two, which covers Nursing Assessment of the Adult and Older Adult, includes a chapter on General Impressions and 14 body system chapters. Each of these is divided into three distinctive parts: Structure & Function, Nursing Assessment, and Analysis of Data (unique to this text, it explains the second step of the nursing process in relation to particular data collected during assessment). The third and final unit, Nursing Assessment of Special Groups, includes chapters on infants and children, childbearing women, the family and the community. A thorough Nursing History section uses a 2-column question/rationale format to explain why each question is asked. A well-organized Physical Assessment section uses a 3-column format for assessment techniques, including Procedure, Normal Findings, and Abnormal Findings -- enhancing clarity and retention. Helpful pedagogy includes a Physical Assessment Checklist, Risk Factor Displays, How to Use Equipment Displays, and Critical Thinking Exercises. FREE with every book: a clear plastic ruler, tape measure, pen light, pencil and pen and a pouch to keep them in are provided for students to use in real life assessment situations. | ||

delivered promptly and in great condition the book was delivered in a timely manner and is in excellent condition as stated | ||
Awesome I paid the extra for speedy deliver and got it in 4 days. I was very happy with it and the packaging. | ||
Lab manual This manual was in excellent condition when I received it. I was impressed with the quick turnaround time, right on time for me to have it for class the next day. It is very useful for health assessments and one cannot adequately complete an assessment without utilizing the checkoff sheets. | ||
Brief descriptions with poor explainations The book is okay if you don't want to learn the entire physical examination. The pictures do always go with the explainations and the chapters are entirely too short to give an accurate description of the test performed. The nutrition chapter is a joke, and sequence of chapters is terrible. | ||
