Prepare your students for their future careers with
Essentials of
Pathophysiology: Concepts of Altered Health States, Fourth Edition
.
This clear, readable, and student-friendly text delivers “need to
know” disease content, along with the essential foundation in science
that nursing, physician assistant, pharmacology, advanced health
science, and medical students need to succeed in their future careers.
Approaching the topic as an exploration of pathophysiology, the book
relates normal body functioning to the physiologic changes that occur
as a result of disease and provides concise yet complete coverage of
how the body works.
The Fourth Edition builds on the book’s extremely successful art
program and the “Understanding” feature and incorporates summary
concept boxes after each section. In addition, an expanded, robust,
and flexible suite of supplements, including a Study Guide, over 40
advanced 3-D animations, prepU, and Lippincott’s CoursePoint, provide
students with all the tools they need to succeed.
