Description
Completely updated, with a new companion CD-ROM bound into the back, Pathophysiology for the Health Professions continues to present the essential concepts of disease processes. Intentionally not meant to be inclusive, this popular text focuses on major disorders and other selected disorders to provide a concise, easy-to-understand introduction to the fundamentals. Understanding this basic information enables students to apply that knowledge to other disorders that will be encountered in subsequent courses and clinical practice.
Key Features
Challenge questions at the end of each review section transition the student from the normal anatomy and physiology into pathophysiology.
Thinkabout boxes are scattered throughout the text and include questions designed to alert students to important points that may have been missed.
Emergency treatment boxes summarize emergency treatment for an acute situation.
Basic diagnostic tests and treatments are included for each of the major disorders to provide awareness of the impact of certain diseases on a patient and the individualized care that may be needed.
Each chapter begins with a set of learning objectives and concludes with a brief bulleted summary plus a short series of study questions.
