Pocket Companion for Physical Examination and Health Assessment, 4th edition, is a convenient and portable clinical tool for carrying out a holistic, head-to-toe assessment. This handbook is useful either as an adjunct to the Jarvis text, or as an independent primer of basic assessment skills. The Pocket Companion features all the essentials: health history points, exam steps for each body system, normal versus abnormal findings; integrated life span and transcultural considerations; and over 100 meticulously prepared color illustrations. All of this is presented in an attractive and user-friendly format that mirrors the core text. Revised and updated to match the text, the Pocket Companion is cross-referenced to the text by page number for those times when the reader needs more detailed information.

Good phys. assessment book:
I like this book very much. I am a first year nursing student, second semester clinic. We are using the companion for class, but this pocket companion is easy to bring along to clinic. Easy to read and understand.

Excellent and concise pocket reference. Flexible binding with nice illustrations. Fits easily into your pocket. A must have for anyone learning complete physical exams.
Invaluable clinical reference!:
Jarvis entire textbook and pocket guide system is top-rate. My MSN program uses them, and am I grateful! I will cherish and reference Jarvis form many years to come! Thank you, Prof Jarvis!
Great handheld reference for nursing students!:
I use this handheld book for quick references at clinicals and in class. It has great color illustrations and is very easy to read. The full sized text was assigned in my assessment class so I went ahead and bought the handheld. I would reccomend it to any nursing student. It covers everything, and at the end it has a full scale assessment in detail that I found very helpful on my final grade for a head to toe assessment.
