Libri di Lynn S. Bickley

Questo libro è rivolto agli studenti di medicina, agli infermieri e a tutti gli operatori del settore sanitario che stanno imparando come condurre l’intervista-colloquio con i pazienti, come eseguire l’esame obiettivo e come applicare il ragionamento clinico e il processo decisionale condiviso agli esiti della loro valutazione e pianificazione sulla base di una solida comprensione delle evidenze cliniche. Questa dodicesima edizione ha molte nuove caratteristiche volte a facilitare l’apprendimento. Come nelle edizioni precedenti, questi cambiamenti provengono da tre fonti: il feedback e le revisioni degli studenti e dei docenti di facoltà; il nostro impegno a rendere il libro più facile da leggere e più efficiente da utilizzare; e l’abbondanza di nuove evidenze a supporto delle tecniche di esame, dell’intervista e della promozione della salute. In questa edizione abbiamo voluto sottolineare i problemi comuni o importanti, piuttosto che quelli rari o insoliti, senza tralasciare – quando necessario – gli aspetti inusuali che sono ormai classici o che possono rivelarsi pericolosi per la vita. Esortiamo i lettori ad apprezzare e a studiare le forti evidenze cliniche su cui poggia ogni capitolo e a considerare attentamente le linee guida e i riferimenti bibliografici della letteratura sanitaria.
