Book Description

ISBN-10: 0827371470 | ISBN-13: 978-0827371477 | Publication Date: July 23, 1997 | Edition: 1st
This is a comprehensive health-assessment text which offers nursing students a visual and written account of the health-history interview, physical-assessment skills, and clinical-examination techniques. The IPPA (inspection, palpation, percussion, auscultation) method of examination is applied to body systems for a detailed physical assessment. The ENAP format (examination, normal findings, abnormal findings, pathophysiology) is followed for every IPPA technique. Pathophysiology is included for each abnormal finding, acknowledging that nurses' clinical decisions need to be based on scientific rationale. "Think-about-it" and "ask-yourself" features encourage critical thinking, and review questions and activities with case scenarios offer self-assessment opportunities.

3.0 out of 5 stars defective, May 23, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Health Assessment & Physical Examination (Hardcover)
I got the book, but the cover is on upside down. It still works, of course, but I would have expected to get a discount on an "oops" book.
