With revised content and vibrant full-color illustrations, this edition delivers comprehensive coverage of current national and international clinical guidelines and evidence-based protocols for primary care patients across the lifespan.
The book’s organized, outline-style format, combined with color-coded layouts, summary tables, and charts, allows clinicians to quickly locate essential information. It addresses the most frequently encountered outpatient conditions while incorporating the latest updates on emerging and evolving topics such as COVID-19 and sexually transmitted diseases, including newly released CDC guidelines. Expanded Practice Pearls throughout the text provide practical clinical insights drawn from extensive real-world experience.
This edition also features enhanced referral guidance, clearly distinguishing non-urgent, urgent, and emergent interprofessional referrals, along with highlighted “not-to-be-missed” clinical content. New design improvements include integrated cardiac and vascular chapters, expanded dermatology coverage relevant to family practice, and focused physical examination sections embedded within each body-system chapter. Conditions are organized alphabetically within chapters for faster reference, supported by an alphabetical index inside the front cover.
Additional updates include full-color illustrations emphasizing diagnostic variation across different skin tones, expanded quick-reference tools, and two new appendices offering convenient acetaminophen and ibuprofen dosing charts—making this edition an indispensable, user-friendly resource for modern family nurse practitioners.
