Professional Guide to Signs & Symptoms

Professional Guide to Signs & Symptoms, Sixth Edition, is a comprehensive manual that helps health care professionals recognize and interpret their patients' signs and symptoms. Each entry describes the sign or symptom, provides emergency interventions (if needed), assesses the complaint, reviews its causes, associated signs and symptoms, special considerations (tests, monitoring, and ongoing care), and concludes with pediatric pointers, geriatric pointers, and patient counseling where appropriate.
