Mosby's Physical Examination Video Series: 15 Videos

As a set or individually, this completely revised, 15-part video series provides a visual presentation on how to perform a complete and effective physical examination. The videos demonstrate physical examination techniques of the adult for each body system, with highlighted lifespan variations. Each 12-25-minute video is enhanced by computer animation, introductory remarks and narration, breath and heart sounds where applicable, and a focus on the interactions between examiner and patient. A separate Putting It All Together video presents a full, head-to-toe examination of the adult, summarizing the key steps in one complete exam. More culture, age, and gender variations are featured to reflect a diverse population. Lifespan considerations are depicted throughout, with variations in techniques and findings for pediatric and geriatric patients. Animations and overlays demonstrate content and processes that cannot be shown on video (e.g., organs under the skin, lymph nodes, abdomen, pregnancy, transillumination of the sinuses, hydrocele, or scrotal cyst). A booklet is provided with each video, containing overviews and outlines, learning objectives, discussion topics, and review questions with answers. Completely revised physical examination sequences of the normal adult. Videos feature the same patients and examiners who appear in the still photographs in the Seidel text for continuity. Examination content is faster paced and streamlined for a more contemporary look.
