The role and function of the nurse is rapidly changing. Some nurses are now required to undertake clinical diagnosis of the patient, a responsibility traditionally undertaken by a doctor. Clinical Diagnosis helps prepare nurses to fulfill this role, providing them with the skills and underpinning knowledge to make clinical diagnoses of patients effectively. Each chapter follows the same layout for each symptom or sign, exploring the definition, causes, history, precipitating factors, associated signs and symptoms, important considerations, relevant clinical examination, and investigations and tests.

"This handy reference is the first U.K. book to explore clinical diagnosis from a nursing perspective . . . This remains a useful, basic, clinical diagnosis guide." (Doody's, 2 September 2011) “Clear and concise, easy to read and laid out very clearly. Would be useful on a ward situation to make quickly sure you have carried out all suitable investigation.” (3rd year Adult Nursing Student, Canterbury Christ Church University)
