Description
This reference source provides guidelines for diagnosing and managing the common acute and chronic problems regularly encountered by the family practitioner. The expanded fifth edition utilizes a similar format to the fourth edition, but includes new chapters and material on: health promotion; population based health care; genetic disorders; somatization disorders; care of the dying patient; disorders of the breast; breast cancer; developmental issues and behavioural problems of adolescents; smoking cessation; nutrition; and enlightened discussions of controversial topics such as managed care and ethical issues. There is also a new section on family practice applications including clinical guidelines and information management in clinical practice with information on computers in diagnosis and management, electronic medical records, and quality assurance. All editors and primary chapter authors are practicing family physicians.
