Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Nursing Health Assessment: A Clinical Judgment Approach, 5th Edition, is designed for BSN faculty to help students move beyond performing assessment skills to thinking like nurses in practice. Rather than focusing only on techniques, the text supports students in making decisions about what to assess, when to prioritize, and how to interpret findings. This clear, structured approach builds the clinical judgment skills students need for safe patient care and NCLEX® success.Unlike other leading health assessment texts that emphasize a more medical, systems-focused approach, Jensen centers clinical judgment throughout. Progressive case studies in every chapter guide students through evolving patient scenarios, helping them apply decision-making in context and strengthen their ability to recognize, analyze, and prioritize cues. Integrated Next Generation NCLEX-style questions reinforce higher-level thinking and provide consistent opportunities for practice aligned to today's exam expectations.This edition streamlines content and case progression to improve clarity, organization, and ease of teaching. Chapters have been consolidated and refined to create a more focused and efficient learning experience, while updated clinical content reflects current practice. New end-of-chapter, case-based review questions further support faculty goals by reinforcing clinical judgment and helping students connect foundational knowledge to real-world care.
