Clearly written and extensively illustrated -- in brilliant four-color -- the text provides in-depth, accurate information. Unit One provides a complete Overview of Nursing. Unit Two, which covers Nursing Assessment of the Adult and Older Adult, includes a chapter on General Impressions and 14 body system chapters. Each of these is divided into three distinctive parts: Structure & Function, Nursing Assessment, and Analysis of Data (unique to this text, it explains the second step of the nursing process in relation to particular data collected during assessment). The third and final unit, Nursing Assessment of Special Groups, includes chapters on infants and children, childbearing women, the family and the community. A thorough Nursing History section uses a 2-column question/rationale format to explain why each question is asked. A well-organized Physical Assessment section uses a 3-column format for assessment techniques, including Procedure, Normal Findings, and Abnormal Findings -- enhancing clarity and retention. Helpful pedagogy includes a Physical Assessment Checklist, Risk Factor Displays, How to Use Equipment Displays, and Critical Thinking Exercises. FREE with every book: a clear plastic ruler, tape measure, pen light, pencil and pen and a pouch to keep them in are provided for students to use in real life assessment situations. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Lab manualThis manual was in excellent condition when I received it. I was impressed with the quick turnaround time, right on time for me to have it for class the next day. It is very useful for health assessments and one cannot adequately complete an assessment without utilizing the checkoff sheets. Rating: - excellent bookThis book was excellent, ignore bad reviews, this book is great! used this at college! Rating:  - Brief descriptions with poor explainationsThe book is okay if you don't want to learn the entire physical examination. The pictures do always go with the explainations and the chapters are entirely too short to give an accurate description of the test performed. The nutrition chapter is a joke, and sequence of chapters is terrible.
