This adaptation of Bates' Guide to Physical Examination and History Taking has been revised to meet the needs of the Canadian Nursing market. Content has been expanded on health promotion, symptom analysis, client teaching, and documentation, with individual chapters added on pain, nutrition, and psychosocial assessment to be consistent with the needs of nursing student. The classic strengths of the Bates franchise remain; namely, precise explanations of technique, clear and compelling visuals, and the easy-to-use two-column approach.
