This comprehensive book prepares you to assist physicians in the decision-making process regarding treatment, evaluation of the treatment's effectiveness, and determining if changes in the treatment need to be made.

Learning objectives, chapter outlines, chapter overviews, and key terms lists in each chapter, help you focus on key content. Key Point summaries emphasize the learning objectives and provide an overview of important material. Simply Stated boxes highlight and promote understanding of important concepts. A comprehensive approach provides you with the important information you need to know in order to effectively assess patients. NEW!
