Study Guide for Understanding Pathophysiology

by Sue E. Huether MS, PhD, Kathryn L. McCance MS, PhD, Valentina L. Brashers MD, FACP, FNAP, Linda Felver PhD, RN

Overview

Reinforce your understanding of pathophysiology concepts and processes! Corresponding to the chapters in Huether’s Understanding Pathophysiology, Eighth Edition, this study guide provides a wide variety of questions and activities to help you review and master pathophysiologic content. This practical workbook begins with exercises on normal anatomy and physiology, then follows with exercises relating to body systems and disease. Case studies and practice exams help you prepare for tests and develop the clinical thinking skills needed to succeed in clinical practice.

• NEW! Updated content reflects the updates to the Understanding Pathophysiology, 8th Edition textbook
• More than 30 case scenarios provide real-world examples of how pathophysiology is used in the clinical setting, with short-answer style questions for practice with clinical judgment
• More than 2,500 activities and questions are provided in a variety of formats including Match the Definition, Choose the Correct Words, Order the Steps, Categorize the Items, and Describe the Differences, all helping you apply pathophysiology concepts to practice
• Nearly 80 images from the textbook are used in Explain the Pictures and Draw Your Answers questions to encourage visual learning
• Teach People about Pathophysiology helps you answer questions that might be posed by patients
• Answer key allows you to check answers and evaluate your progress
• Corresponding chapters make it easy to go back and forth between the workbook and the textbook
