Angela Richard-Eaglin and Jacquelyn McMillian-Bohler, assistant professors, co-authored the chapter "Advanced Assessment of the Female Reproductive System," and Adrienne Small, clinical nurse educator, authored the chapter "Advanced Health Assessment of the Abdomen, Rectum, and Anus" in a newly published textbook entitled Advanced Health Assessment and Differential Diagnosis: Essentials for Clinical Practice. It is being touted as "the first textbook to specifically target the scope of practice for advanced practice nurses and physician assistants."

From the description:

"With a focus on promoting sound clinical decision-making and a streamlined and highly accessible approach, this text for advanced practice nurses and physician assistants delivers up-to-date primary care health assessment techniques for individuals throughout the lifespan.  The holistic assessment section for each system—emphasizing the importance of social considerations—further prepares students for informed clinical practice. Chapters feature a comprehensive assessment of special populations, including patients with disabilities; pediatric, pregnant, and elderly patients; and transgendered and veteran populations, as well as differential diagnosis guidance in tabular format, and case studies that demonstrate clinical reasoning and application of principles to practice. A robust ancillary package includes an instructor manual, discussion questions, multiple-choice questions, and PowerPoint slides."
