Mosby's Physical Examination Handbook 7th Revised edition [Mīkstie vāki]

American health care academics Seidel, Flynn, Solomon, Stewart (all Johns Hopkins U.), Ball (American College of Surgeons), and Dains (U. of Texas) present an updated clinical reference for students of nursing, medicine, chiropractic, osteopathic, and other allied health disciplines, and for practicing health care providers. Intended as an aid to review and recall the procedures of physical examination, it contains brief descriptions of examination techniques and step-by-step guidelines on how the examination should proceed. Separate chapters give an overview of the entire examination for all adults; for healthy females; and for infants, children, and adolescents. Pediatric variations are highlighted in each body systems chapter, and the final chapter gives guidelines for reporting and recording findings. The seventh edition features an appendix on pain assessment tools, including the Numeric Pain Intensity Scale, the Visual Analogue Scale, and the Wong/Baker FACES Rating Scale. Illustrated with color photographs and diagrams. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
