This is a MUST book for all junior level nursing students. It has very clear and detailed descriptions of how to do a physical exam on every part of the human body. The pictures are of real people, not from drawings. Every chapter has subjective and objective examination section which makes it very easy to understand and follow. At the end of each chapter, there sample focus assessments to further clarify the topics.
Great assessment guide for beginners July 14, 2006

I really like this book. East chapter begins with a condensed review of anatomy/physiology related to the body system it covers. Then the reader gets step-by-step instructions on how to provide an assessment for that system (hands on, inspection, etc.), tests associated and how to perform them, normal/abnormal findings, and great pictures. It discusses cultural, developmental, and aging variables. The BEST part is in the documentation - it clearly tells how and examples for doing SOAP notes. At the end of each chapter are cool pictures of abnormal/disease findings. We use this along with the lab manual, which is decent, in our assessment class. One note of dismay: the CD that comes with it is useless, as is their website. Little info and the videos are about 8 seconds long.
Very good assessment tool!! November 28, 2006

The information in Jarvis' book is easy to comprehend. The book covers assessment needs for all stages of life and also includes transcultural considerations. The large number of quality photos add to the value of the book, making it a great keeper resource.
