Editorial Review:
Physical Examination and Health Assessment provides all the information necessary to conduct a holistic health assessment across the life span. The physical examination unit is organized by body system, pedagogically and clinically the most logical and efficient way to learn and perform health assessment. Each chapter has five major sections: (1) Structure and Function (A&P); (2) Subjective Data (history); (3) Objective Data (skills, expected findings, and common variations for healthy people and selected abnormal findings); (4) Abnormal Findings (illustrations of related disorders and conditions in atlas format); and (5) Application and Documentation (sample charting, clinical case studies, nursing diagnoses, and critical thinking questions tied to the Saunders video series).- A clear, approachable writing style in an attractive and user-friendly format.
- Integrated lifespan content.
- Transcultural considerations in both a separate chapter and highlighted throughout.
- Hundreds of meticulously prepared four-color illustrations.
- Sample charting of normal findings and sample clinical case studies.
- Integration of the complete health assessment in a photo essay at the end of the book, where all the steps of assessment are put together in a choreographed whole.
- Student CD-ROM bound into every copy includes case studies, printable health promotion guides, and a comprehensive head-to-toe video on assessing the adult.
- Features hundreds of new full-color photos.
- Includes new chapters on screening for domestic violence and pain assessment.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Great Textbook for Resource
This is a great textbook for any health assessment nursing course or for anyone who just wants to know more about the human body and its functions. I like the way each chapter is broken up into subjective and objective data as well as providing age appropriate information for each topic. There are great pictures and a CD that help to better understand the subject matter.
Rating:  - Great deal!
I purchase this book for an online class and the price I got was $12 better than at the university bookstore!
Rating: - Finally...an easy-to-read nursing textbook!!
I absolutely love this book. It is so much easier to read than any of the other 50 or so textbooks I have weighing down my bookshelves.
I don't know if it's the un-fussy writing style, or the abundance of pictures that make it more interesting than others like it, but I will say that for once, I do not dread my reading assignments.
Thanks for such an interesting book!
(When I start my career, I will upgrade to the next edition for sure)
Rating:  - Paying more for shipping does not provide better service.
After reading another review, I discovered a CD may not be part of the book I purchased. This is not good. The CD is part of the learning process and allows the student to assimilate the learnings from the book with the CD information. Also, I paid for 1 day fed. express shipping and the book did not arrive on the date expected.
Rating: - College student
This book does have good layout by using seperate chapters for the different systems and has abnormal findings with pictures in every chapter. But It is not detailed enough. I would sometimes find myself looking for more information because it doesn't go too much farther then describing something briefly. I would like to find a more detailed book but this is the one my nursing class required. And it has no glossary for definition of terms.
