Advanced Health Assessment & Clinical Diagnosis In Primary Care 6th Edition

Advanced Health Assessment and Clinical Diagnosis in Primary Care, 6th Edition, goes beyond the basics of history taking and physical examination to teach you how to use diagnostic reasoning. Following assessment guidelines that focus on a specific complaint rather than starting with a previously determined diagnosis or disease entity will help you acquire this important ability. This version features a new chapter on The Transgender Patient, written by advanced practitioners, that provides you with the knowledge you need to effectively assess and care for this underrepresented patient population. Geriatrics, highly infectious diseases, collaboration with the interprofessional healthcare team, genetics/genomics in lab testing and family history, updates on psychiatric-mental health disorders, and more are all covered in depth.
