Pathophysiology: A Clinical Approach Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
The Second Edition of Pathophysiology offers a unique clinical approach that facilitates learning by viewing pathophysiology as health care professionals do. Whereas a traditional systems-based approach impractically isolates diseases to a single body system, this textbook's approach recognizes how disease affects multiple systems. Additionally, rather than covering only a limited number of diseases, aiming for rote memorization of the key factors in those diseases, the clinical approach details the mechanisms of disease. By mastering the core concepts of altered human function, students can apply a deeper understanding to a host of diseases, rather than trying to memorize facts about specific conditions. Because students learn through application, they learn to think about pathophysiology the way they will need to in a clinical setting, by working from symptoms to the cause, rather than the other way around. Each chapter discusses clinical models, enhancing the real-world application of the material.

I thought that this book was fairly effective in covering the majority of the material that it did. It would help, a fair amount, to know normal physiology before taking this class. It's not required, however. They will break down normal physiology down far enough for the clinical models used at the end of the chapters. Knowledge is consolidated fairly well. Information concerning treatments can sometimes be a little lacking, but should probably be expected. That would probably fall under more advanced classes or pharmacology.
I am using this book as a supplemental resource for the Family Nurse Practitioner Program I am in. It has really helped to improve my tests scores. It gives a different approach to the subject matter than what is presented in the traditional textbooks. I would definitely recommend it!
Easy to read, and follow. Very well written. I "ALMOST" enjoyed reading this book (and I HATE reading textbooks) it does an AMAZING job at explaining things in a simple way for you to understand.
I'm already half way through the class and this textbook is amazing, very easy to read, they get to the point. If you don't know your anatomy/physiology or microbiology you WILL have a difficulty with this book. A lot of the reading expects you to have a good knowledge base on Anatomy/Physiology and microbiology.
This provides just short paragraphs on each topic. Great for beginners but not for advanced pathophysiology students. I will keep this for my children to use as they get into more complex science and biology classes.
I used this book for a graduate level pathophysiology class and while some of the information was great, I felt at times like I was reading an entry level basic pathophysiology book, even high school. Some of the chapters were more beneficial than others but for a graduate course I really feel I needed something with more detail. On the plus side, it wasn't difficult to move through the material in this book as it is in some high level books.
This book was in rougher shape than the last few books my wife has rented. It was still a good book with no highlights or writing in it. It was the required book for her course so that makes it just the right book! She is pleased with her rental. Only reason for 4 stars is because it is in rough shape.
Very understandable. Nice diagrams, pictures, and tables to aid learning. The questions at the end of the chapter and the objective at the beginning of the chapter really help guide you through the course.
