Nursing Health Assessment : Concepts and Activities

Objectives begin each chapter, helping the reader to focus on the course of study and establish learning goals. Overview of concepts crystallizes need-to-know information and establishes the data base from which the reader can complete hundreds of study activities. Study activities - including matching exercises and multiple-choice, true-or-false, fill-in-the-blank, and short-answer questions - challenge the reader to apply knowledge gained. Correct answers to the activities, along with rationales when appropriate, conclude each chapter. Illustrations, charts, diagrams, graphs, and tables appear throughout the book to clarify key concepts and enhance understanding.
