This full-color comprehensive health assessment text offers nursing students a complete visual and written account of the health history interview, physical assessment skills, and clinical examination techniques. The IPPA method of examination (Inspection, Palpation, Percussion, Auscultation) is applied to body systems for a complete, detailed physical assessment. The ENAP format (Examination, Normal Findings, Abnormal Findings, Pathophysiology) is followed for every IPPA technique, providing a useful, valuable fund of information. Pathophysiology is included for each abnormal finding, acknowledging that nurses' clinical decisions need to be based on scientific rationale.
