Synopsis

This pocket-sized, waterproof quick reference system will become one of your most valuable resources to patient assessments. Its compacted, outlined format provides you with Assessment Procedures and Tips, FYI, and Glossary of Terms sections for each of the six major body systems. This handy pocket companion is an effective, quick reference system that correlates patient assessment theory with the mandates of clinical practice. This laminated, ring-bound tool will guide you through assessments in a simplistic step-by-step, head-to-toe sequence. Divided into the six major body systems, each step pertinent to a complete assessment is starred, and each category offers you choices - so there is no guessing. In addition to the Assessment Procedures and Tips section, this reference also provides a FYI section (offering you signs and symptoms of emergency situations) and a comprehensive Glossary of Terms for each system - improving both your documentation and knowledge base! This compact 18-card reference can be taken with you wherever you go - the bedside, clinics, and the library. Its user-friendly format provides easy access to the most valuable information allowing you to assess patients quickly, meticulously, and confidently. This reference has been proven effective in both academic and clinical environments and has been beneficial to students and practicing professionals alike. JaLor's Quick Reference System for Physical Assessment and Quick Reference - Clinical Worksheet compliment each other; however, they may be used independently.
