DESCRIPTION
Featuring brilliant art, engaging new case studies,
and dynamic new teaching and learning resources,
this Ninth Edition of Porth’s
Pathophysiology:
Concepts of Altered Health States
is captivating,
accessible, and student-friendly while retaining the
comprehensive, nursing-focused coverage that has
made it a market leader. The book’s unique emphasis
on “concepts” of altered health states, as opposed to
factual descriptions of diseases and disorders, helps
students grasp both the physical and psychological
aspects of altered health.
