Customer Reviews & Comments As a geriatric nurse practitioner in long-term care, I am delighted with this complete yet concise, user-friendly reference for physical assessment of elders. It goes beyond describing and illustrating the basics of the exam by including many useful techniques for bedside diagnosis of common problems in long-term care( check out "Heuter's sign" to rule out fractures! ). Dr. Williams interjects wonderful quotes and historical tidbits that enliven this book and entertain the reader. If you are a health professional caring for elderly patients ( that includes MD's, NP's,PA's, nurses and students ), you might want to ask Santa to add this to your list. It is a definite must have!
