Applied Pathophysiology: A Conceptual Approach to the Mechanisms of Disease

Emphasizing application of knowledge, active learning strategies, critical thinking, and evidence-based practice, this updated 3rd Edition of Applied Pathophysiology: A Conceptual Approach to the Mechanisms of Disease explores pathophysiology through the lens of body function concepts and what happens when function is altered through injury or disease. – This novel approach helps students understand that diseases are rarely confined to one body system and challenges them to apply what they�ve learned to a range of diseases, rather than trying to memorize facts about specific conditions. In the process, they learn to think about pathophysiology in the same way practioners do in a clinical setting�by working from symptoms to the cause, rather than the other way around. – The 3rd Edition features much that is new including a new chapter on mental illnesses, new case studies in every chapter, and a wide range of new clinically-focused features. – – Product details – – – Simultaneous – Publisher: Wolters Kluwer Health; 3 edition (July 13, 2016) – Publication Date: July 13, 2016 – –
