<p>Designed for those who use history and physical examination skills in the clinical setting, this practical resource takes readers to the "next step" of health assessment ― beyond basic history and physical examination and into a diagnostic reasoning process. Accessible and concise, it focuses the physical examination around a specific chief complaint rather than a diagnosis or disease entity. Each chapter is organized in five major areas ― Diagnostic Reasoning: Focused History; Key Questions; Diagnostic Reasoning: Focused Physical Examination; Laboratory and Diagnostic Studies; and Differential Diagnosis ― making it easier to accurately diagnose the majority of patients seen in practice today.</p>
