Product Description: This comprehensive assessment text is designed as a learning system, with an innovative modular format that allows personal customization and ease of use. Clearly written and extensively illustrated -- in brilliant four-color -- the text provides in-depth, accurate information. Unit One provides a complete Overview of Nursing. Unit Two, which covers Nursing Assessment of the Adult and Older Adult, includes a chapter on General Impressions and 14 body system chapters. Each of these is divided into three distinctive parts: Structure & Function, Nursing Assessment, and Analysis of Data (unique to this text, it explains the second step of the nursing process in relation to particular data collected during assessment). The third and final unit, Nursing Assessment of Special Groups, includes chapters on infants and children, childbearing women, the family and the community. A thorough Nursing History section uses a 2-column question/rationale format to explain why each question is asked. A well-organized Physical Assessment section uses a 3-column format for assessment techniques, including Procedure, Normal Findings, and Abnormal Findings -- enhancing clarity and retention. Helpful pedagogy includes a Physical Assessment Checklist, Risk Factor Displays, How to Use Equipment Displays, and Critical Thinking Exercises. FREE with every book: a clear plastic ruler, tape measure, pen light, pencil and pen and a pouch to keep them in are provided for students to use in real life assessment situations.
Product Description: Since the first edition of MRI in Practice was published in 1993, the book has become the standard text for radiographers, technologists, radiology residents, radiologists and even sales representatives on the subject of magnetic resonance imaging. This text is essential reading on postgraduate courses. Furthermore, MRI in Practice has come to be known as the number one reference book and study guide in the areas of MR instrumentation, principles, pulse sequences, image acquisition, and imaging parameters for the advanced level examination for MRI offered by the American Registry for Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) in the USA. The book explains in clear terms the theory that underpins magnetic resonance so that the capabilities and operation of MRI systems can be fully appreciated and maximized. This third edition captures recent advances, and coverage includes: parallel imaging techniques, functional imaging techniques and new sequences such as balanced gradient echo.
Building on the success of the first two editions, the authors have now re-conceptualized the design of the book. The third edition contains a wealth of additional illustrations and chapter enhancements draw on the depth of the authors' experience in delivering MRI education and training. To promote accessibility of difficult concepts, extended analogies have been developed to relate the complexities of MRI physics to everyday phenomena. Learning points are clearly articulated, and frequent summaries are included to assist the reader in digesting the information.
This new Step-Up Series volume is a high-yield, systems-based, outline-format review of commonly tested USMLE Step 2 material, including internal medicine subspecialties, required clerkship specialties, and important topics in medical practice.

Coverage of each disorder includes cause, risk factors, history, physical examination, lab studies/radiology, treatment, and complications. "Quick Hit" marginalia highlight facts likely to be tested. "Next Step" marginalia indicate what the clinician must do next after making a diagnosis. A full-color section illustrates classic presentations of dermatologic and other disorders.
