Description

Assessment is a key nursing function that ensures each patient receives optimal care. Bates' Nursing Guide to Physical Examination and History Taking is designed specifically for undergraduate nursing students, thoroughly covering all aspects of the essential processes of obtaining a patient history and performing a comprehensive physical examination. Bates' Nursing Guide helps students build on basic knowledge of human anatomy and physiology as they acquire patient assessment skills that will translate directly into the professional nursing role. Case study scenarios and evidence-based practice throughout further emphasize the application of physical examination and assessment in a real-world setting.
