The Tenth Edition of this classic text provides the best foundation for performing physical examinations and taking patient history. The book features a beautiful full-color art program and a clear, simple two-column format, with highly visual step-by-step examination techniques on the left and abnormalities with differential diagnoses on the right.
This edition's health promotion sections have been extensively updated and expanded in all chapters, with new and revised national guidelines, pertinent screening tools, and more information about ways to help patients prevent disease and optimize their health across all settings and age groups. Detailed information on pain assessment is now included in the general survey, vital signs, and pain chapter. A new chapter presents assessment of mental health status and behavior to encompass the psychosocial dimensions of care. Evidence-based content has been increased, with pertinent findings, avenues for research, and references/suggested readings added across the entire book. More than 50 new line drawings and photos have been added.
A bound-in CD-ROM and companion Website include 5 Approach to Patient videos, 15 Head-to-Toe Examination videos, 25 Assessment videos, heart and breath sounds, the Center for Disease Control's pediatric growth chart, journal articles, Nursing Professional Roles and Responsibilities, and the fully searchable text. An Instructor's Resource DVD-ROM and online instructor resources are also available.

Since you do not have mail service to M xico, I gave you my son's address who lives in the United States and I have not received the book yet, so I am not able to give any opinion about it.
I hope you will soon have that service, in order to receive the books at home and give an opinion about them.
Greetings.
New but...February 12, 2010 K. Harmon 1 out of 3 found this review helpful
The book was mailed out very quickly and it was a new book. However, when I received the book, it appeared as though it had been stored in a moist place because the pages were rippled like they would be if they got wet. Some of the corners of the book were a little mashed in, but that could've been due to shipping. All-in-all, it was a good deal with quick shipping. Everything (CD, online code) was included and intact. I'm sure the book was new when I received it, but maybe they don't have the best place to store the books.

This book is full of pictures to help understand how the physical exam is supposed to be preformed.
