As pharmacists and nurses are asked to take on greater responsibilities and extend the scope of their practice, this new book will support you to triage and manage patients using a clinical decision-making approach. Unlike existing textbooks that cover symptoms management or provide a checklist format, Differential Diagnosis for Non-medical Prescribers, Nurses and Pharmacists provides case studies of common presentations with examples of associated clinical reasoning techniques to help you make a differential diagnosis.
