Applied Pathophysiology 3e

Carie Braun, Cindy Anderson, 2016

Overview

This updated 3rd Edition emphasizes the application of knowledge, active learning, critical thinking, and evidence-based practice. It explores pathophysiology through body function concepts, examining what occurs when function is altered by injury or disease. This approach helps students understand that diseases rarely affect a single body system, encouraging them to apply knowledge across various conditions rather than memorizing isolated facts. Students learn to think about pathophysiology from a clinical perspective, working from symptoms to causes.
