                •I = Inspection•A = Auscultation•P = Percussion•P = Palpation.

                Please don’t wait until you are studying for exams, pick up this book, and use it throughout your studies so that the mnemonics used will become second nature to you and propel you towards your nursing career.

                This anthology collates 16 unique and powerful perspectives from occupational therapists around the globe, each highlighting the culture that they are a part of and how it informs their work and care.
