3. Placed in the second spot in the 2019 AJN E guide of the year Awards in the Adult Primary Care category. Acquire the ability to precisely diagnose the vast majority of patients seen in today’s primary care settings! Advanced Health Assessment and Clinical Diagnosis in Primary Care, 6th Edition moves beyond basic history and physical examination skills to help you master the diagnostic reasoning process. You can enhance this critical skill by following assessment strategies that concentrate on a specific complaint instead of initiating with a previously established evaluation or disease entity. Crafted by advanced practitioners, this edition incorporates a fresh chapter on The Transgender Patient which equips you with the knowledge necessary to effectively assess and manage this overlooked patient demographic. It also includes expanded coverage of geriatrics, highly infectious diseases, collaboration with the interprofessional healthcare team, genetics/genomics in lab testing and family history, updates on psychiatric-mental health issues, and more!
