Nursing Health Assessment: a Critical Thinking, Case Studies Approach

Abstract

This book delivers an alternative to books that present health assessment as a collection of techniques with no integrated focus. Dillon delivers an innovative approach that engages students in the assessment process through three important retention-developing features: Body Systems Integration - outlined clearly in illustrations. It teaches students to see the relationships among the various body systems. Case Studies - woven through the chapters. It gives meaning to the assessment and essentially states, "You are assessing this patient!"
