Procedures for the Primary Care Provider

by Marilyn Winterton Edmunds

Procedures for the Primary Care Provider, 3rd Edition is a practical, spiral-bound guide designed to help primary care clinicians confidently perform the most commonly encountered office procedures. Featuring clear, step-by-step instructions supported by detailed illustrations, this reference is ideal for Nurse Practitioners, Physician Assistants, and other primary care providers. Each procedure is presented in a consistent, easy-to-follow format that includes an overview of the procedure, relevant anatomy and physiology, indications and contraindications, precautions, patient assessment and preparation, treatment alternatives, required equipment, and a fully illustrated, step-by-step process.

This edition introduces nine new procedures that reflect evolving primary care practices and expanded NP and PA roles, along with updated illustrations and a modern, full-color layout that enhances usability and learning. Nearly 400 high-quality drawings and photographs clearly demonstrate procedural steps, while numbered guidelines allow for quick and efficient reference during clinical practice.

An introductory chapter addresses important legal, educational, and reimbursement considerations related to office procedures. Helpful appendices provide commonly used forms, such as sample certification checklists and consent forms, in an easily accessible format. New “Red Flag” alerts identify situations requiring referral to a specialist, and updated CPT billing codes reflect current reimbursement standards frequently used by NPs and PAs.

Additional enhancements include expanded infection control coverage, updated equipment imagery, revised procedural content aligned with current best-practice guidelines, and convenient quick-reference tools for improved navigation. The spiral binding allows the book to remain open during procedures, making it a reliable, hands-on resource for clinicians who may not perform these procedures on a regular basis.
