The ENAP format (examination, normal findings, abnormal findings, pathophysiology) establishes a consistent pattern across body systems. § The IPPA format (inspection, palpation, percussion, and auscultation) guides each skill. § Health Histories teach an organized, thoughtful, and consistent approach to patient care, and guide the interview process for each body system. § “Risk Factor” boxes highlight risk factors for many types of cancer and other clinical conditions. § “Advanced Techniques” identify examination sequences that are performed in selected clinical scenarios based on a client’s clinical presentation and history. § “Review Questions” at the end of each chapter present questions to reinforce understanding.
