Differential Diagnosis for Non-Medical Prescribers, Nurses and Pharmacists: A Case-Based Approach - Paul Rutter - Bog

As pharmacists and nurses are asked to take on greater responsibilities and extend the scope of their practice, this new book will support you to triage and manage patients using a clinical decision-making approach. Unlike existing textbooks that cover symptoms management or provide a checklist format, Differential Diagnosis for Non-medical Prescribers, Nurses and Pharmacists provides case studies of common presentations with examples of associated clinical reasoning techniques to help you make a differential diagnosis. The book covers a broad range of symptoms and is ideal for exam revision as well as for practising health professionals who wish to improve their experience and exposure to common patient situations.Case studies contextualise knowledge into clinical casesEasily digestible information based on common symptoms seen in clinical practiceUses clinical reasoning techniques to provide examples of how to make a diagnosisProvides summaries of conditions that need to be considered in the diagnostic processAligned to content in the fifth edition of Community Pharmacy; Symptoms, Diagnosis and TreatmentAn enhanced eBook version is included with purchase.
