Textbook of Physical Diagnosis: History and Examination, 8th edition Original PDF \/ Print replica by Mark H. Swartz MD FACP (Author)<\/p>\n
This is the PDF of the eighth edition of the Textbook of Physical Diagnosis:
\nHistory and Examination, which, like its predecessors, has been
\nwritten for students of health care who are learning to com-
\nmunicate effectively with patients, examine patients, and assess
\npatients\u2019 medical problems. It\u2019s hard to believe that 30 years have
\npassed since the publication of the first edition! This text, like
\nits first edition in 1989, still offers a unique, comprehensive (but
\nconcise) approach to physical diagnosis. By discussing the patho-
\nphysiology of disease and emphasizing the humanistic element
\nof health care, I attempt to show the importance of the old-
\nfashioned doctor\u2019s approach to the patient. \u201cThe primary aim
\nof this textbook,\u201d as stated in the preface to the first edition, \u201cis
\nto provide a framework for the clinical assessment of the patient
\nin a humanistic manner.\u201d The book, then and now, focuses on
\nthe patient: his or her needs, problems, and concerns.
\nThe history and physical examination must not be seen as
\nprocedures performed by a robot but rather as a process that
\nrequires interpersonal awareness and technical skill. In this era
\nof extraordinary advances in diagnostic modalities, procedures
\nand tests have been emphasized, whereas the importance of the
\nhistory and physical examination has been minimized. It is well
\nknown, however, that among the most valuable and least costly
\nmedical evaluations are the history and physical examination.
\nThis book focuses on how to offer the best medical care through
\nthe art of effective interviewing and physical examination.
\nThe eighth edition represents a major revision based on a
\ncomplete review of the field of physical assessment. All chapters
\nhave been reviewed and modified, where appropriate, by experts
\nin the fields. Extensive changes have been made to most chapters.
\nThe last edition of this textbook moved the chapters on nutri-
\ntion, complementary and alternative medicine, and cultural
\ndiversity to the web-based version of the textbook. Now with
\nthis edition, all chapters appear in the print version of this text-
\nbook. As times change, so do standards of physical diagnosis.
\nSeveral of the physical examination tests indicated in the previous
\neditions have been either modified or eliminated, and several
\nnew chapters have been included in this edition.
\nThere is now a growing scholarly literature about implicit
\nbias in health care and its effect on the doctor\u2013patient relation-
\nship and patient health outcomes. Implicit bias, also known as
\nunconscious bias, can be defined, as cited by the National Center
\nfor State Courts (2012), as \u201cthe bias in judgment and\/or behavior
\nthat results from subtle cognitive processes (e.g., implicit attitudes
\nand implicit stereotypes) that often operate at a level below con-
\nscious awareness and without intentional control.\u201d Unconscious
\nbias is significantly related to patient-provider interactions, treat-
\nment decisions, and treatment adherence. Unconscious bias is
\nnot limited to race; it can exist for characteristics such as age,
\ngender, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability status,
\nnationality, ethnicity, and physical appearances. These biases,
\nwhich encompass both favorable and unfavorable assessments,
\nare activated involuntarily and without an individual\u2019s awareness.
\nOne must recognize and understand that almost everyone has
\nsome degree of implicit bias; it manifests as an automatic ste-
\nreotypical response. Healthcare providers must learn to mitigate
\nthe effect of implicit bias in healthcare decision-making. I have
\ntherefore added a new section to the textbook entitled \u201cValuing
\nDiversity: Race, Gender, & Ethnicity.\u201d I invited six experts in this
\nfield to write an entirely new chapter entitled, Mitigating Racism
\nand Bias in Clinical Medicine.
\nHealth care providers deal frequently with a great variety of
\nperplexing medical ethical problems. The Epilogue of previous
\neditions of this book has touched upon this important subject
\nonly briefly. In this edition, however, the subject has been
\nenhanced into its own chapter entitled, Clinical Ethics and Pro-
\nfessionalism. The basic elements of bioethical reasoning around
\nissues such as principalism, ethics analysis, deontology, utilitari-
\nanism, casuistry, privacy and confidentiality, disclosure, decisional
\ncapacity, informed consent, and advanced directives are a few
\nof the topics now included. An expert in the field of medical
\nethics assisted me in writing this important chapter.
\nThe original chapter entitled, Advancing Clinical Diagnostic
\nReasoning has been entirely rewritten. The revised chapter, now
\nentitled, Precision, Accuracy, and Critical Thinking in Clinical
\nAssessment, is a more user-friendly chapter addressing basic clini-
\ncal statistics and its application in critical thinking and diagnostic
\nreasoning. References throughout have been completely updated
\nand provide information for further study.
\nOnline appendices include commonly abused drugs, signs
\nand symptoms of deficiency states, conversion tables, English-
\nto-Spanish translations, and recommended immunization sched-
\nules for children and adults. See instructions for accessing the
\nonline content on the inside front cover.
\nOnline access includes more than 150 high-quality videos
\nshowing step-by-step demonstrations of the complete physical
\nexamination of male and female patients (see inside front cover
\nfor accessing online content). Other videos include the pediatric
\nexaminations of the newborn and the toddler and the neurologic
\nevaluation of the toddler. Using standardized patients, other
\nvideo presentations show interviewing techniques when discuss-
\ning sensitive topics with geriatric patients. These sensitive topics
\ninclude a discussion of advance directives (i.e., health care proxy
\ndetermination and living wills), a mental status examination of
\na patient with a cognitive impairment, and a scenario showing
\nhow to give bad news. Finally, scenarios demonstrating the focused
\nhistory and physical examination of a young man with abdominal
\npain; counseling a woman about health-related issues; and a
\npediatric telephone consultation are presented. These are very
\nuseful scenarios for preparing for the USMLE Step 2CS Exami-
\nnation. These videos compliment the text to provide a compre-
\nhensive clinical reference for the understanding of the organization
\nand fluidity of the complete assessment of the patient.
