About this book
Formulating a Differential Diagnosis for the Advanced Practice Provider 2nd edition by Jacqueline Rhoads and Julie C. Penick teaches advanced practice students how to move systematically from a presenting symptom to a focused differential diagnosis. The book uses patient based cases to develop clinical reasoning, showing how history, physical examination findings, diagnostic tests, and probability are combined when deciding which conditions should remain on or be removed from a differential.
The 2nd edition contains symptom based cases organized around common presentations encountered in primary and advanced practice care. Each case guides students through history collection, examination findings, interpretation of laboratory and diagnostic data, prioritization of possible diagnoses, and selection of the most likely clinical explanation. Its step by step format makes the reasoning process visible instead of presenting diagnosis as a final answer without showing how it was reached.
This book is especially useful for Nurse Practitioner (NP) Students, Family Nurse Practitioner Students, Adult Gerontology Nurse Practitioner Students, Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs), Physician Assistant (PA) Students, Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) Students, Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) Students, Advanced Health Assessment Students, and clinicians strengthening diagnostic reasoning. It is particularly useful for courses and clinical rotations that require students to construct defensible differential diagnoses from incomplete patient information.
NP students, PA students, APRNs, MSN and DNP students, clinical trainees, and advanced practice providers can use this edition to practice narrowing diagnostic possibilities, identifying discriminating findings, and linking patient data to clinical decisions. The 2nd edition, 2018 is available as a searchable PDF enhanced digital version with instant access, so you can begin studying immediately for advanced health assessment, primary care coursework, clinical rotations, case presentations, or diagnostic reasoning practice.
