Review

"This new edition is beautifully illustrated and has a unique lifespan focus. A distinctive feature of the handbook is its functional use of color type to distinguish examination steps, expected findings, and unexpected findings. Also included is a handy 'What Drugs May Do' chart on the inside back cover outlining physical findings and the commonly used drugs that can cause them"
- Carole A. Kenner, University of Oklahoma College of Nursing, Doody Review Services --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very handy reference; I always take it with me, Oct 16 2005

This review is from: Mosbys Physical Examination Handbook (Paperback)

This extremely handy reference appears to follow the outline for Nursing Assessment presented in more detail in Jarvis' Physical Examination & Health Assessment book. You will not be able to find detailed information about every finding and its interpretation; instead, the editors very skillfully picked and chose what include and what not to include. The result is a hand book that will very quickly direct you to the very assessments and tests that can be performed for a particular system along with some basic information on expected and unexpected findings. I find myself using the resource most as a refresher, reminder, or guide to assessing a particular system that do not do all the time, or when presented with findings I don't recognize. Sample charting is provided as well, which is oftentimes very helpful. I did give it a 4 star instead of a 5 star because of the frequency with which I wish just a little bit more information were given about the expected and unexpected findings. More often than I would like I find myself moving past this book to a larger book to find those details. Nevertheless, when making a handbook that can fit in the pocket, some details must be left out, and overall this was done very skillfully to provide the nurse with a very useful and highly recommended tool.

This review is from: Mosby's Physical Examination Handbook (Paperback)

I found this book to be very useful. I am currently in nursing school and this book is a great tool to guide assessments. My professor said that this was even helpful when she was in Nurse Practitioner school.
