Synopsis

A concise, pocket-sized guide to physical examination and companion to Seidel et al, Mosby's Guide to Physical Examination, 5th Edition, this beautifully illustrated, full-color clinical manual provides convenient, portable access to comprehensive guidance in physical examination.

• Each chapter begins with a concise, clearly identified equipment list.
• Easy-to-follow, color-coded tables summarize the core examination content in each chapter. "Examination Techniques" appear in red, "Expected Findings" appear in blue, and "Unexpected Findings" appear in green.
• "Pediatric Variations" tables, also color coded for easy reference, highlight differences in younger patients'
  disease presentations.
• "Sample Documentation" sections at the end of each chapter provide straightforward examples of good documentation practice.
• A removable, pocket-sized quick-reference card inside the back cover presents a comprehensive at-a-glance reminder list of key elements of assessment for every body system and region. One side covers "Physical Examination―Objective Data," and the other covers "History―Subjective Data."
• Pages for Clinical and Reference Notes are interspersed throughout the book for personal clinical note-taking.
• Handy, two-column "Aids to Differential Diagnosis" tables summarize abnormalities and their distinguishing characteristics.
