Summaries and Customer Reviews are supplied by Amazon.com
Using actual case vignettes, this resource will help students apply their skills in history taking and physical examination and test their knowledge by answering case-based questions. This edition includes additional cases on the older adult and other new topics covered in the Ninth Edition of Bates' Guide to Physical Examination and History Taking.
Not all that great.
| Customer Rating: | For me, the book worked because our instructors used many of the vignettes and questions on our exam.
However, for the general student of medicine, this book is ridiculous. For example, after presenting a short patient vignette, it asks for a differential. Working with friends, I tried to come up with three reasonable diagnoses given the symptoms. The book would give three, but two of the three would be completely UNreasonable. It would say something like, "Diagnosis #1 relies on findings of A, B, C, and D. However, our patient does not report A, C, or D, so this diagnosis is unlikely."
I didn't find that to be at all helpful.
Additionally, the multiple choice and matching questions are quite easy, probably too easy to be useful for anyone more than a few months into your training, regardless of field (RN, PA, MD, etc...).
All in all, I think this book is a waste of money for most people. Just read the margin notes in Bates, and review the tables at the end of each chapter, and you'll get a much better review than this will provide. |
Bates case studies
| Customer Rating: | | Teaching graduate nursing students is always a challenge. Case studies are a good way to challenge them. This set of case studies works well when using the Bates textbook. |
