内容説明

This volume is geared toward BSN nursing students and practising nurses, and provides the information necessary to carry out holistic health assessment across the lifespan. The third edition retains the strengths of the first two editions: two-column format in both subjective and objective data sections; illustrated "Abnormal Findings" tables arranged in atlas format; integrated developmental variations across the lifespan with age-specific content on the infant, child, adolescent, pregnant female, and ageing adult; transcultural considerations in both a separate chapter and throughout; sample charting of normal findings and sample clinical case studies at the end of each body system chapter; and integration of the complete health assessment in a photo essay at the end of the book, in which all the steps of the assessment are put together in a choreographed whole; and a separate chapter on critical thinking. This edition contains new illustrations, a chapter on the pregnant female, critical thinking questions, and new and updated appendices.
