Approximately 150 normal and abnormal examination photos for the nose, mouth, throat, thorax, and pediatric assessment
give you a fresh perspective on these key system examinations, with cultural diversity and developmental variations.

Abnormal findings tables help you recognize, sort, and describe abnormalities.

Content covering the electronic health record, charting, and narrative recording provides examples of how to document assessment findings.
