What you’ll find inside
Bates’ Guide to Physical Examination and History Taking, Thirteenth Edition by Lynn S. Bickley, Peter G. Szilagyi and Richard M. Hoffman is a learning resource for the patient interview and physical examination. Rainier P. Soriano is the guest editor. The book supports learners as they develop a structured approach to collecting information, examining patients and describing findings, with illustrated guidance and a consistent format for working through assessment skills.
From history taking to examination
The guide connects the health history and interview with clinical reasoning, assessment and the plan that follows. Its examination material is arranged around body systems and uses step-by-step techniques to show how an exam is performed. Readers can compare expected and abnormal findings, review terminology and use the text to organize an assessment sequence. The edition also addresses special stages in the life cycle, including childhood, pregnancy and older adulthood, so students can consider how an assessment may need to be adapted to the person being seen.
For health-professions education
Medical, nursing and physician-assistant students may use the book in courses that teach history taking and clinical examination. Educators can assign focused sections as learners build practical skills in a supervised setting. The subject structure also makes it a reference for revisiting one system or examination task rather than reading every section in sequence. The guide is educational material; clinical care should follow current professional standards, local protocols and the supervising clinician’s direction.
