Examination of patients; Nursing fundamentals & skills

This fully revised edition provides up to date, evidence based insights to enhance the readers’ knowledge and skills when performing physical examinations of adult patients.

Rather than presenting step by step procedural instructions, the focus is on what clinicians might discover during an examination; insights that support diagnostic reasoning. The reliability of examination techniques is also explored, with each chapter discussing the varying accuracy of procedures according to the research evidence available.

An invaluable resource for those preparing for clinical exams, it also serves as a practical aide- memoire for qualified professionals in daily practice. Each chapter includes reflective practice vignettes highlighting real world challenges, along with case study quizzes to reinforce learning.

Designed for a wide range of healthcare professionals including nurses, pharmacists, physician associates, paramedics, physiotherapists, anaesthetic assistants, medical students, and doctors, this text supports anyone involved in conducting clinical examinations.
