Summary

This companion to the textbook features three illustrated sections for review: Pretest, Learner Activities and Post-Test. The Pretest concentrates on the anatomy and physiology involved in specific kinds of assessment; it helps the reader review the material with multiple-choice questions, matching exercises and labeling activities. Learner Activities presents interviews, examinations, and exercises ideal for independent study or with lab partners, plus case studies and physical assessment checklists. The Post-Test challenges students with one final review of the material presented already in quizzes, matching exercises, crossword puzzles, and self-reviews of learning objectives.
