Reseña del editor:

This practical, pocket-size guide provides the "how-to" information nurses need to conduct a bedside physical assessment whether focusing on a specific complaint or performing a complete "head-to-toe" physical examination. Organized by body system, each chapter begins with a summary of the relevant anatomy, followed by step-by-step assessment guidance. It discusses the equipment required, common complaints and symptoms, physical assessment techniques, and the nature and significance of normal and abnormal findings. Pediatric, geriatric, and transcultural considerations relative to health assessment are also presented.

The process includes a list of equipment required, a discussion of complaints and symptoms, an illustrated explanation of physical assessment techniques employed, and a discussion of the nature and significance of normal and abnormal findings.
