Description
Written by a leading dermatologist and nurse practitioner, "Primary Dermatologic Care" uses a, one-of-a-kind, approach to swiftly determine an accurate clinical diagnosis, it provides differential diagnosis tables, and near illustrations, which are grouped by presenting symptoms. Treatment options and protocols detail the information needed to treat patients most common disorders, including key recommendations for referral or consultation guidelines to help you determine appropriate points for referral for specialty care. Twelve broad groupings of presenting symptoms/conditions provide information on over 100 commonly seen disorders. All represent typical disorders common to primary care practice. Each dermatologic disorder follows a consistent outline, including its definition, etiology, pathophyisoloy, signs and symptoms, differential diagnosis, treatment and patient education. It also has protocols for follow-up, with expected duration of the symptoms. Specific recommendations pinpoint the need for referral vs. definitive treatment by the provider.
