This updated Fourth Edition of Jill Gehrig's highly visual, step-by-step
guide takes dental hygienists-in-training through the process of patient
assessment, emphasizing both the actual physical assessment and the
human interaction involved. The Fourth Edition includes four chapters on
communication (including an all-new motivational interviewing chapter),
as well as unique Human Element sections that include real-life
experiences shared by patients, students, and clinicians. Enhanced by
case studies, student learning aids, videos, and a new audio glossary,
Patient Assessment Tutorials provides students with everything they need
to succeed in the course and their future careers as dental hygienists.
