Overview

This adaptation of Bates' Guide to Physical Examination and History Taking has been revised to meet the needs of Canadian nurses. Content has been expanded on health promotion, symptom analysis, client teaching, and documentation, with individual chapters added on pain, nutrition, and psychosocial assessment to be consistent with the needs of nursing students. The classic strengths of the Bates book remain: precise explanations of technique, clear and compelling visuals, and the easy-to-use two-column format. The Canadian Bates' Guide includes research summaries that highlight readings and reports for Canadian nurses and Canadian Resource sections that provide pertinent Websites. Cultural Icons highlight special considerations pertinent to demographic groups in Canada with regard to history taking, examinations, and abnormalities. http://thepoint.lww.com/product/isbn/9780781778671
