 Description: 

Known for its high efficiency, detailed reach, and compact qualities, Pediatric Physical Exam Guide: 3rd Edition is a demonstrated need for those who need to test children of all ages. In this spiral-bound book you can find photos of what to expect on a physical test of infants, ones (small children, big children, preschoolers, schoolchildren, teenagers, and another solid core of adults), as well as adults. The body systems book goes over a sequence of main developmental phases of childhood, starting with the development of the embryo. For babies and small children, Duderstadt uses the quiet-to-active approach preferred by medical specialists and found more effective for this age-group than the conventional head-to-toe approach used for adults. This version contains a new chapter on infant physical inspection, extended coverage on skin health problems and new Red Flag highlights to help you spot high-priority health issues.

Expert advice for the paediatric test uses the quiet-to-active approach to the evaluation and appraisal of babies ― including preterm infants ― and young children. This appraisal model, which allows for an ear to take a look at the child and for a hand to reach out, yields the best defined accurate outcomes in this child category.

What the book includes are big vivid images of the evaluation that can aid when you study the assessment. You can also see some pictures of what the assessment finds, so you can be a bit more familiar with the neural activity of the brain. It is also full of talking pictures so you can visualise it more quickly.

This much-needed, important, succinct, easy-to-use format grants fast access to concise instructions for the paediatric physical exam.
