Hello,
I had used two physical examination books for my schooling. The first book, is called Physical Examination & Health assessment by Carolyn Jarvis. It has a lot of great pictures that one can see throughout the book. The reading is easy and sometimes difficult for the reader to follow. Not a lot of good examples or written examples for soap notes and the methods to develp an assessment. However, it is supported for the online evolve and that site is awesome. I would reccommend the site.
The second book is called "Physicial Examination & Health Assessment" by Bates. I really enjoy the book and the pictures are not as clear and graphic as the first one. However, it also was supported by evolve. I like bates because the reading is easy.
There you go Sgt. Zenman.....
LOL.

I never did like Bates. I ordered this one with online student access and a 2 hr dvd of a physical exam.
