This text and it’s pocket companion we’re indispensable in my Advanced Practice Physical Exam and Diagnostic Reasoning course. The book is well-organized, and associates exam findings with diagnoses to consider. There are excellent tables and diagrams to draw attention to similarities and differences between diagnoses. All-in-all, I highly recommend this book for any advanced practice nursing student.

La guía de bolsillo es muy útil y práctica para cualquier alumno de medicina en Atención Primaria y Urgencias (en otras especialidades supongo que se quedará corto). Muy muy recomendable. Tiene muchas fotos, muchos algoritmos diagnósticos, muchas tablas comparativas y de diagnóstico diferencial.
