Description

A concise, pocket-sized guide to physical examination and companion to Seidel et al, Mosby's Guide to Physical Examination, 5th Edition, this beautifully illustrated, full-color clinical manual provides convenient, portable access to comprehensive guidance in physical examination. A dynamic author team gives the Handbook an uncommonly strong multidisciplinary perspective, emphasis on differential diagnosis, and expert coverage of both pediatrics and adult health. Color-coded type is used to make examination steps, expected findings, and unexpected findings easy to spot quickly. And now, a new appendix puts a variety of guides to special patient histories at readers' fingertips.

  • Each chapter begins with a concise, clearly identified equipment list.
  • Easy-to-follow, color-coded tables summarize the core examination content in each chapter. Examination Techniques appear in red, Expected Findings appear in blue, and Unexpected Findings appear in green.
  • Pediatric Variations tables, also color coded for easy reference, highlight differences in younger patients' disease presentations.
  • Sample Documentation sections at the end of each chapter provide straightforward examples of good documentation practice.
  • A removable, pocket-sized quick-reference card inside the back cover presents a comprehensive at-a-glance reminder list of key elements of assessment for every body system and region. One side covers Physical Examination-Objective Data, and the other covers History-Subjective Data.
  • Pages for Clinical and Reference Notes are interspersed throughout the book for personal clinical note-taking.
  • Handy, two-column Aids to Differential Diagnosis tables summarize abnormalities and their distinguishing characteristics.
  • A separate chapter on Blood Vessels provides expanded coverage on examination of the vascular system
  • An appendix entitled Quick Reference to Special Histories includes the CAGE Questionnaire, the TACE Questionnaire, the RAFFT Questionnaire
