| Abstract |
"We begin this preface by emphasizing that the only way to ensure an accurate diagnosis for an individual's health and well-being is through a thorough history and evidence-based health and well-being assessment. Learning to effectively assess the health and well-being of an individual involves integrating skills of history taking, physical exam, and diagnostic decision-making within the context of patient-centered, culturally-sensitive, evidence-based clinical practice. The process of teaching and learning assessment is complex"-- Provided by publisher. |
