Featuring a comprehensive, well-organized approach, this resource teaches assessment techniques from the most basic skills to more advanced methods for assessing patients in any clinical setting - from the office to the ICU.

Certain topic areas have been streamlined and reorganized for the most effective presentation of material.
• Comprehensive approach presents all of the most important aspects and topics of assessment that readers need to effectively assess patients.

• Simply Stated boxes contain brief, direct, concise statements about important concepts in the text, highlighting key information to aid in reader comprehension.
• Questions to Ask About... boxes contain a list of questions practitioners should ask patients about their symptoms or ask themselves when confronted with a certain clinical situation.
• Case studies in several chapters provide an opportunity for readers to apply chapter content to realistic clinical scenarios.
• Chapter review questions at the end of each chapter help readers review and remember chapter content.
• Key Terms lists at the beginning of each chapter highlight important terminology and concepts that will be explained in that chapter.

January 28, 2006: Dr. Wilkins 'thinks outside the box.' Now in the 5th edition, he wrote the first edition when he couldn't find a comprehensive book on the market for his students. He recognized that they were capable of doing more than administering treatments prescribed by the physicians. He's a 'trend-setter.'

January 28, 2006: I've followed Dr. Wilkins' career. A talented communicator who 'came up through the ranks,' Dr. Wilkins is always able to make the student understand. He began his work in teaching as a high school student working on anti-smoking programs.
