Differential Diagnosis for Non-Medical Prescribers, Nurses and Pharmacists: A Case-Based Approach (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780443116049)

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 cases
• Easily digestible information based on common symptoms seen in clinical practice
• Uses clinical reasoning techniques to provide examples of how to make a diagnosis
• Provides summaries of conditions that need to be considered in the diagnostic process
• Aligned to content in the fifth edition of Community Pharmacy; Symptoms, Diagnosis and Treatment
• An enhanced eBook version is included with purchase. The eBook allows you to access all the text, figures and references, with the ability to search, customise your content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud
