"The purpose of the Study Guide to Accompany Advanced Pediatric Assessment, Third Edition, is to assist the student or novice pediatric healthcare provider in solidifying the specialized knowledge and skills that are required when conducting the pediatric history and physical examination. Each chapter of this study guide aligns with the corresponding textbook chapter and follow a uniform format: a chapter overview, expected learning outcomes for the chapter, essential terminology, and critical thinking exercises many new to this edition--- in two formats: short answer, and case study. The chapters then continue with certification exam-style multiple choice questions (with answers), new to this edition, and blank sample documentation to show examples of subjective and objective findings that are necessary to record. It is important for all healthcare providers to be sure that children receive the highest quality care possible, as their young bodies and minds are growing and developing. It is my hope that this study guide will help to augment the student's learning, and increase the learner s confidence in providing comprehensive, high quality care to children of all ages"--
