Awarded second place in the 2019 AJN Book of the Year Awards in the Adult Primary Care category, Advanced Health Assessment and Clinical Diagnosis in Primary Care, 6th Edition is an essential resource for accurately diagnosing patients in today’s primary care settings. This edition focuses on the diagnostic reasoning process rather than just the fundamentals of history and physical examination. By following assessment guidelines that start with a specific complaint rather than a pre-established diagnosis, you will develop critical diagnostic skills.

A new chapter on assessing and caring for transgender patients, written by advanced practitioners, addresses the needs of this underserved population. Additionally, it features expanded coverage of geriatrics, highly infectious diseases, coordination with interprofessional healthcare teams, genetics and genomics in lab testing and family history, and updates on psychiatric-mental health issues.
