Editorial Review:
This practice-focused review guide and workbook covers 27 of the most commonly encountered health problems to outline the connections between pathophysiology, assessment, diagnosis, and management, with an emphasis on the clinical use of pathophysiologic concepts. Each chapter includes case studies to illustrate the application of pathophysiology principles to clinical situations with questions relating to patient history, physical examination findings, lab and diagnostic studies, therapies, and follow-up care. Each question is designed to promote clinical reasoning and a deeper understanding through application of the concepts presented. Information on differential diagnosis is included.- Consistent presentation of each disease includes definition, epidemiology, pathophysiology, patient presentation (history, symptoms, and examination), differential diagnosis, keys to assessment, and keys to management.
- Algorithms are used to illustrate the sequential action of disease processes.
- Unique! Clinical link diagrams for each disorder clearly illustrate how pathophysiologic concepts play a role in patient care.
- Unique! Critical thinking questions in a fill-in-the-blank format in included for every case study to promote continual clinical reasoning based on the available data.
- Case studies give students the history, physical examination, lab and diagnostic test results, and course of treatment for a hypothetical patient.
- Up-to-date bibliographies provide reading lists of the most important and current research published on each disease.
- Perforated pages allow students to fill out the answer spaces in the case studies and turn them in to their instructors for evaluation.
- Suggested answers with rationales to case study questions are available to instructors who require the book, to facilitate the use of the cases as class assignments.
- Table of laboratory test values for quick reference.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Excellent resoucre to complimnet the original text
This book had been very useful in clarifying large amounts of information specific to disease processes. I would recommend this text to anyone that is taking advanced pathophysiology. The book has case studies that include outlines that highlight the disease process, treatment modalities, and intial assessment of diseses.
Rating:  - Great for health care professionals
This book is fantastic. I had the privilege of taking undergraduate and graduate level pathophysiology classes taught by Dr. Brashers and they have been the most helpful classes in my nursing career. This book is so good that I gave a copy to my sister who is currently enrolled in another nursing program so that she can have the best resource available. This is not a huge textbook that one must wade through. The format involves taking a common disease or disorder then going through a systematic ... Read More
Rating: - A great resource!
This book is a great resource for those in health care professions who are seeking to better understand how to apply pathophysiological processes in clinical practice. It is also a excellent guide to examining some of the pathophysiologic alterations seen in specific disease states. The feature that I have found most helpful are the flow charts, which summarize a significant amount of complex information into a clear and concise format that is easy to comprehend. The case studies are practical and grounded ... Read More
