  Advanced Health Assessment and Clinical Diagnosis in Primary Care is a resource that takes advanced practice clinicians and nurse practitioners beyond what is offered in the current health assessment texts. Advanced assessment skills in history taking and differential diagnosis are thoroughly covered, and a diagnostic reasoning process is utilized to help the practitioner or clinician effectively assess patients and determine accurate clinical diagnoses. Based on a body systems framework, each chapter discusses major problems associated with each particular body system. Both adults and children are included, with divergence in questions, examination, or interpretation of findings noted where pertinent.
