Description
Learn, understand, and master pathophysiology! Corresponding to the chapters in McCance & Huether’s Pathophysiology: The Biologic Basis for Disease in Adults and Children, 9th Edition, this study guide offers practical activities and detailed case studies to help you review and remember basic pathophysiology and make the connections between theory and practice. Interactive questions provide you with a working knowledge of disease etiology and disease processes — giving you practice applying what you’ve learned to clinical practice. Best of all, the answers are in the back of the book so that you can check your understanding as you go!
