The assessment text of today and the future!This unique text is the first to combine scientific and holistic approaches to health assessment while being the first book to also take the health and well-being of the clinician into account. This valuable resource utilizes the best evidence and clinical relevance underpinning advanced history-taking and assessment techniques incorporating the most current guidelines from reliable sources, such as the U.S. Preventative Services Task Force, the Choosing Wisely initiative, and the NAM's Core Competencies for Health Care Clinicians. The updated second edition offers more in-depth recognition of population health concepts, and as a result includes greater use of inclusive language, social determinants of health assessments, identification of health inequities, and racial, ethnic, gender, and age considerations within advanced assessment. This edition delivers increased coverage of documentation, abundant new content addressing therapeutic communication and changing practice environments, and unique chapters focused on the assessment of a growing cohort of older patients, the LGBTQ+ population, telehealth, abuse, and clinician wellness.Chapters have a consistent structure and include anatomy and physiology, key history questions and considerations, physical exam, lab and imaging considerations, evidence-based practice recommendations, and differential diagnoses for both normal and abnormal findings. Case studies, clinical pearls, and key takeaways aid retention, while abundant illustrations, photographic images, and videos demonstrate history-taking and assessment techniques. Instructor resources include PowerPoint slides, a test bank with multiple-choice and essay questions, additional case studies with short answer questions, an image bank, and a course cartridge.New to the Second Edition:Prioritization of the importance of clinician well-being as a prerequisite for implementing evidence-based assessmentInclusion of an environmental assessment for clinician safetyAll chapters, where applicable, include COVID-19 implications and considerationsTwo brandnew chapters (Chapter 6, "e;Evidence-Based Assessment of the Older Adult"e; and Chapter 10, "e;Evidence-Based Assessment of the Vascular System"e;)Inclusion of Pre-Admission Testing and Pre-employment physical assessments to Chapter 28, "e;Evidence-Based Assessments for Medical Clearance"e;Additional content addressing considerations when assessing patients with obesityInclusion of a checklist denoting best practice guidelines for telehealth visitsKey Features:Focused on evidence and practical application of assessment skills to ensure the highest quality of careEmphasizes health and well-being for both the clinician and patientDelivers the evidence, acceptability, and clinical relevance behind history-taking and assessment techniquesFocuses on the most current clinical guidelines from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, the Choosing Wisely initiative, and highly recognized clinical practice organizationsAids retention through case studies, clinical pearls, and key takeaways Demonstrates techniques with abundant illustrations, photographic images, and videos Includes abundant instructor resources
