A procedure-focused reference for primary care

This fourth edition organizes practical guidance for more than 230 procedures used in primary care, spanning office, hospital, and emergency-care settings. Its scope includes procedures associated with subspecialty practice, alongside chapters on topics such as foreign-body removal, blood products, and injury management. The reference combines step-by-step material with illustrations, tables, and citations, and includes updated ICD-10-CM codes. Online resources listed by the publisher include patient education handouts and consent forms. The breadth and structured presentation make the book a working reference centered on procedural information rather than a general overview of family medicine.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Primary care clinicians seeking procedural reference material across multiple care settings
  • Residents and students looking for structured, step-by-step coverage of primary care procedures
  • Medical readers who use illustrations, tables, and cited references alongside procedural text
