Book Description
Auscultation Skills: Breath and Heart Sounds, Fourth Edition
is the only book-and-audio-CD product on the market that offers full
coverage of heart and breath sounds from the simple to the complex and
provides a comprehensive text explaining heart and breath sound
fundamentals including basic anatomy and physiology, best auscultation
locations, tips on how to identify each sound, and what to document.
This product offers practicing nurses, nurse practitioners, and
physician assistants a solid basis for recognizing and differentiating
among abnormal breath and heart sounds to help them accurately interpret
what they hear and then apply that knowledge toward a proper diagnosis
and treatment regimen.
The book is supplemented with an
all-in-one CD that features 46 tracks of breath sounds and 50 tracks of
heart sounds, which can be listened to sequentially with the book or
reviewed in any order the reader chooses. The CD can be listened to in
the car or on the computer; it can be downloaded to the computer and
converted to MP3 files.
Tips and alerts abound throughout the
book to help manage optimal care. A glossary of commonly used terms and
abbreviations and an easy-to-read chart of common disorders matched with
their specific abnormal breath and heart sounds add to the book's
utility
