A comprehensive and pragmatic approach to clinical assessment is presented, emphasizing the identification of abnormal findings by focusing on what is considered normal within various patient populations. This approach is designed to be practical and applicable in real-world clinical settings.

The text begins by outlining the normal variations observed in adult, child, elderly, and pregnant patients, as these populations are most frequently encountered in practice. This foundation allows clinicians to have a solid understanding of the expected findings within these groups.

Once the clinician has established a baseline understanding of normal variations, the text proceeds to guide the reader through the process of identifying abnormal findings. It presents assessment as a linear and consistent process, ensuring that clinicians follow a standardized set of steps in the same order, minimizing the risk of missing important information.

To enhance the learning experience, the text includes access codes printed inside new, printed texts. These access codes unlock valuable online resources at FADavis.com. These resources include Advanced Assessment Techniques, an Audio Library featuring sample auscultation and percussion sounds, Case Studies presenting real-life scenarios, and Performance Checklists that document the steps of each assessment technique.

By adopting a practical and real-world approach, this text aims to provide clinicians with the necessary knowledge and skills to effectively assess patients and identify abnormal findings. It serves as a valuable resource for medical students, residents, and practicing healthcare professionals seeking to improve their clinical assessment abilities.
