" ... shows a complete initial examination during the first trimester of pregnancy, and key assessments and findings during the third trimester. It combines body-system assessments within the same region, shows developmental adaptations in examination techniques, highlights pregnancy and fetal assessments, and compares expected findings early and late in pregnancy.

It continues with examination of the musculoskeletal system; legs; head and face; eyes, ears, nose, and throat; neck; extremities; thorax and lungs; heart; breasts; abdomen; genitalia; and pelvis. It includes a scenario about health promotion during pregnancy.
