Overview
Health assessment is a process that evaluates the whole person as a physical, psychosocial and functional being, whether they’re young or old, well or ill. This market-leading text presents health assessment, physical examination information and skills for health professionals who complete these types of assessments.
Health Assessment and Physical Examination takes students from basic concepts to more advanced health assessment. It uses the ENAP (Examine–Normal–Abnormal–Pathophysiology) approach to allow the student to collect useful information. A case study at the end of each chapter walks them through an assessment example.
The text includes advanced topics as well as ‘Urgent findings’, which highlights serious or life-threatening signs and critical assessment findings that need immediate attention.
Instructor resources include Instructor's Guide, PowerPoints, Testbank, Case Database and Clinical Skills Videos.
- NEW content: the impact of the COVID pandemic on nursing practice, in Chapters 3, 5 and 13
- NEW and updated policies, standards and statistics at the start of each chapter
- NEW case studies, including a case related to Covid-19 (Ch 13), Osteoarthritis (Ch 16), Endometriosis (Ch17), Renal calculi (kidney stones) in males (Ch 17)
- NEW clinical skills content, specifically regarding PPE and safety
- NEW stand-alone chapter on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health

- The ENAP approach (Examine – Normal – Abnormal – Pathophysiology) provides students with a tool to collect useful assessment information. This is colour-coded for consistency so that students and instructors can see right away where everything fits together. Advanced material is coded in a separate colour
- Applied health history case study (i.e. a worked case) in every chapter walks students through an entire assessment for each of the body systems in an authentic context, ensuring person-centered care and not focusing on observational assessment data alone
- The impacts of the SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) pandemic on health assessment appear throughout the text, along with evidenced-based, up-to-date quality and safety in health care information, the use of personal protective equipment, and infection control, along with related case studies so that students can apply critical thinking in context
- Reflection in practice introduces realistic clinical situations and ethical controversies to encourage students to question issues in a personal context as well as to stimulate critical thinking, effective decision making and active problem solving
- End-of-chapter worked case studies demonstrate how to apply critical thinking skills to real-life scenarios. These follow the structure of the health history, provide detailed consumer (patient) profiles and make use of the evaluation and clinical reasoning cycle to demonstrate the approach/process
- 'Clinical reasoning' cycles explain the decision-making process to develop and enhance students’ clinical judgement skills; these include a practice tip icon if the content offers tips on how to get better results from the clinical reasoning process
