Advanced Assessment: Interpreting Findings and Formulating Differential Diagnoses

The only book directed specifically at assessing patients with a specific complaint-a perfect tool that can be applied in the classroom and as a working utility in clinical practice. Unique in its approach, this new book takes users beyond the identification of physical assessment abnormalities to arrive at a differential diagnosis of the patient's health problem. Readers learn how to incorporate physical examination, patient history, and diagnostic studies to accurately diagnosis a patient's problem.
