Using a nursing-oriented, holistic approach, this straightforward text provides you with a visual presentation to conducting physical examinations. This textbook clearly delineates the routine exam techniques from those exams for special circumstances or advanced practice.

UNIQUE! Routine exams and exams for advanced practice are identified with a special icon to help you quickly and easily determine essential assessment content.
Body system chapters are subdivided into clearly delineated sections to allow easy navigation among these consistent sections within the chapters.
UNIQUE! End-of-chapter Documentation Samples demonstrate how to document client data and provide a practice context for client charting.
UNIQUE! Special feature boxes outline common, Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about health assessment and provide corresponding answers.
Ethnic and Cultural Variations boxes present differences to anticipate among today’s multicultural client population and show how to vary the exam for varied populations.
Separate sections for special circumstances or special needs show how to vary the exam for clients with special needs.
Feature boxes outline Healthy People 2010 objectives to provide you thorough discussions of recommendations for health promotion and reducing risk.
Interactive Activity Lists at the end of each chapter outline corresponding exercises, checklists, and lab forms that can be found on the companion CD-ROM.
Case Studies with Clinical Reasoning Questions are provided at the end of each chapter to test your application of textbook material.
NCLEX® exam-style review questions are included at the end of each chapter.
PDA-Downloadable Exam Techniques are included on the Evolve companion website to allow you to easily access important summary exam information.

UNIQUE! The 30 Core Assessment Skills identified by research as most commonly performed by nurses are now highlighted with a unique icon.
UNIQUE! The companion CD-ROM now provides the Core Assessment Skills Checklists as quick step-by-step summaries for each of the 30 Core Assessment Skills.
Two new chapters pull all of the essential exam and assessment content together into cohesive chapters for the infant and child and the older adult.
UNIQUE! Clinical Reasoning Exemplars walk you through the thinking process of how an experienced nurse makes decisions.
UNIQUE! Concept boxes feature eight concepts in the context of health assessment including pain, sleep, oxygenation, perfusion, tissue integrity, motion, sensory, and intracranial regulation.

Fig. 1-2 Clinical Judgment Model. Noticing refers to the nurse’s expectations and initial grasp of a situation. Noticing triggers reasoning patterns that allow the nurse to interpret the situation and respond with interventions. Reflection-in-action specifically relates to evaluating outcomes of interventions while reflection-on-action represents the contribution of an experience to a nurse’s collective experiences.

CHAPTER 6 Pain Assessment
Fig. 6-1 A method of classifying pain is by the pathophysiology involved. I, Nociceptive pain (stimuli from somatic and visceral structures). II, Neuropathic pain (stimuli abnormally processed by nervous system).
ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY
Fig. 6-2 Outlines the four basic processes involved in nociception: 1, transduction; 2, transmission; 3, perception; and 4, modulation.
Fig. 6-2, cont’d
Fig. 6-3 Illustrates the four steps involved in the pain process: transduction, when nociceptors stimulate the free nerve endings; transmission, when nociceptor stimulation initiates action potentials along A-delta or C fibers to open the gate in the substantia gelatinosa and ascend to the brain in the spinothalamic tract through the thalamus (or stimulate A-alpha or A-beta fibers that close the gate); perception, when impulses move from the thalamus to the parietal lobe, where pain is felt, and to the limbic system, which derives the emotional response to pain; and modulation, when the body produces endorphins and enkephalins to occupy the opiate receptor sites to close the gate.

Fig. 6-4 McGill Pain Questionnaire. The descriptors fall into four major groups: sensory, 1 to 10; affective, 11 to 15; evaluative, 16; and miscellaneous, 17 to 20. The rank value of each descriptor is based on its position in the word set. The sum of the rank values is the pain rating index (PRI). The present pain intensity (PPI) is based on a scale of 0 to 5.
Fig. 6-5 A, Descriptive pain intensity scale; B, Numeric pain intensity scale; C, Visual analog scale.
Fig. 6-6 Self-contained, portable, pain-rating instrument that can provide immediate assessment of pain. It is a 5 × 20 cm plastic visual analog scale with a sliding marker that moves within a 10 cm groove. The side facing the client (A) resembles a traditional analog scale, whereas the opposite side (B) is marked in centimeters to quantify pain intensity. The tool has been shown to be valid to measure pain intensity.

Fig. 12-12 Sigh.
Fig. 12-13 Abnormal breathing patterns. A, Bradypnea is a respiratory rate less than 12 breaths per minute. The rate and depth remain smooth and even. B, Tachypnea is a respiratory rate greater than 20 breaths per minute. The rate and depth remain smooth and even. Tachypnea can be caused by a number of factors, including fever, fear, or activity. C, Hyperventilation is characterized by increased rate and depth of respiration. D, When hyperventilation occurs with ketoacidosis, it is very deep and laborious and is termed Kussmaul breathing. E, Biot breathing pattern is characterized by irregularly interspersed periods of apnea in a disorganized and irregular pattern, rate, or depth. It may be associated with persistent intracranial pressure, respiratory distress, or damage to the medulla. F, Cheyne-Stokes is characterized by intervals of apnea interspersed with a deep and rapid breathing pattern. This may be seen in clients with severe illness, brain damage, or drug overdose. G, Air trapping is an abnormal respiratory pattern frequently seen in clients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. It is characterized by rapid inspirations with prolonged, forced expirations. Air is not fully exhaled; thus it becomes trapped in the lungs, which eventually leads to a barrel chest.

On palpation, a fairly hard disk- or cherry-shaped “button” can be felt. The areola is increased in diameter and the surrounding area is slightly elevated. M3—Further elevation of the mammary gland. Diameter of areola increases further. Shape of mammary tissue is now visibly feminine. M4—Increasing fat deposits. The areola forms a secondary elevation above that of the breast. This secondary mound apparently occurs in roughly half of all young females and in some cases persists in adulthood. M5—Adult stage. The areola (usually) subsides to the level of the breast and is strongly pigmented.
