Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Featuring a comprehensive, well-organized approach, this resource teaches assessment techniques from the most basic skills to more advanced methods for assessing patients in any clinical setting - from the office to the ICU. The new edition provides even more information on key topics, additional case studies and review materials, and a new glossary. Certain topic areas have been streamlined and reorganized for the most effective presentation of material.

  • Comprehensive approach presents all of the most important aspects and topics of assessment that readers need to effectively assess patients.
  • Each chapter begins with consistent learning features - Learning Objectives, Chapter Outline, Chapter Overview, and new Key Terms - to prepare readers for the content that will be discussed in that chapter.
  • Simply Stated boxes contain brief, direct, concise statements about important concepts in the text, highlighting key information to aid in reader comprehension.
  • Questions to Ask About... boxes contain a list of questions practitioners should ask patients about their symptoms or ask themselves when confronted with a certain clinical situation.
  • Case studies in several chapters provide an opportunity for readers to apply chapter content to realistic clinical scenarios.
  • Chapter review questions at the end of each chapter help readers review and remember chapter content.


  • Key Terms lists at the beginning of each chapter highlight important terminology and concepts that will be explained in that chapter.
  • Glossary of key terms at the back of the book defines important terms identified in each chapter's Key Terms list.
  • Additional case studies in the EKG and hemodynamic monitoring chapters provide further opportunities to apply chapter content in real-life scenarios.
  • Additional chapter review questions at the end of each chapter enhance student review and retention of chapter material.




Customer Reviews
Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - clinical assessment in respiratory care
This book is very well organized with many tables summarizing important concepts that therapists or nurses should pay attention to. I would really like to have a CD-Rom with video clips show and presentation of assessments and some of the adventisious breath sounds that are presented in the book as a visual aid.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The best of the best.
This has been the best book ever, so easy to understand, explains procedures and equipment thoroughly so anyone can study on it. Great delivery time, thanks.
