5 Star Review from Doody's Review Service Presenting pathophysiology through the lens of body function, Applied Pathophysiology: A Conceptual Approach, ...
Presenting pathophysiology through the lens of body function, Applied Pathophysiology: A Conceptual Approach, 4th Edition, goes beyond memorization of facts to give students a thorough understanding of altered human function and a practical framework for applying concepts in clinical settings. By helping students understand that diseases are rarely confined to one body system, this novel approach conditions students to think like practitioners, working from symptom to cause to build an understanding of the disease process essential to successful practice.
Supported by the latest clinical practices and research-based evidence, this 4th Edition has been updated to prepare students for today’s changing healthcare environment. Engaging features and resources throughout the text emphasize active learning strategies and challenge students to apply their knowledge to a wide range of diseases.
