Synopsis

SOAP for Pediatrics features over 70 clinical problems with each case presented in an easy to read 2-page layout. Each step presents information on how that case would likely be handled. Questions under each category teach the students important steps in clinical care.

Blackwell's new SOAP series is a unique resource that also provides a step-by-step guide to learning how to properly document patient care. Covering the problems most commonly encountered on the wards, the text uses the familiar "SOAP" note format to record important clinical information and guide patient care. SOAP format puts the emphasis back on the patient's clinical problem not the diagnosis.

This series is a practical learning tool for proper clinical care, improving communication between physicians, and accurate documentation. The books not only teach students what to do, but also help them understand why. Students will find these books a "must have" to keep in their white coat pockets for wards and clinics.

About this title

From the Publisher:

The format is extremely helpful way to learn. The information presented is enough so that a student can go to a big textbook and quickly find the relevant information that they were missing.

4th year medical student, Tulane University School of Medicine

Overall, I feel that the format is ingenious and unique – I haven’t come across another text with such a presentation. The format fits the way medical students and residents are programmed to present to attending physicians – a definite plus.

I cannot recall a text for medical students that elaborates on protocols or standards of care the way this text has managed.

The highlight is the extensive differential. Overall, great content, good questions, accurate plan. A+

Students and residents will find the content very helpful in the day-to-day activities of a medical professional dealing with pediatric problems.

I think it is an excellent format for beginning students to learn questions and diagnostic queries that they should be considering while evaluating patients. ...It helps teach students "how to think". 4th year medical student, University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio
