En omfattande bedömning av hela patientens hälsostatus är den grund på vilken vårdbeslut baseras. Detta gäller inte minst personens fysiska hälsostatus. Sjuksköterskor förväntas se och bedöma patienten som en hel individ som är mer än summan av sina delar, där fysiska, känslomässiga, psykologiska, intellektuella, sociala, kulturella och andliga behov kan vara mer eller mindre i förgrunden. Det bästa sättet att utveckla denna bedömningsförmåga är att lära sig ett systematiskt förhållningssätt.Boken fokuserar på bedömning av patientens fysiska hälsostatus och redogör för bästa sätt att ta en fullständig anamnes. Den summerar också de viktigaste kliniska färdigheterna som behövs för att utveckla och förbättra förmågan att göra kroppsundersökningar med syfte att, på ett kompetent sätt, identifiera vårdbehov samt planera och utföra bästa möjliga vård. Klinisk undersökningsmetodik för sjuksköterskor är en oumbärlig handledning för sjuksköterskor i grundutbildning eller som påbörjat resan mot sin specialistutbildning.

Advanced Practice in Healthcare outlines the key components of advanced practice in which healthcare professionals are engaged. With a clear skills focus, it explores issues critical to providing effective enhanced care to patients whilst managing and negotiating the complexities of the healthcare delivery system. Perspectives on advanced practice are illuminated throughout the text and are designed to promote the formation of new thinking in relation to practice, education and research. The text is comprised of three sections that address different aspects of advanced practice and these in turn: Provide guidance on the development of clinical skills, including consultation, clinical decision making, holistic care, and the role of care planning in advanced practice. Explain management skills and how to manage, negotiate and monitor the complexities of the healthcare system in order to ensure the delivery of quality patient care. Clarify the professional role of the advanced practice clinician and how implementation of the role can improve the delivery of patient care. In each chapter activities are presented that assist in the development, implementation and extension of advanced level practice. This text is especially relevant to nurses, midwives and allied health professionals practising within primary and secondary care who wish to advance their practice or clarify their roles within the context of advanced practice, particularly those undertaking masters level study.
