Description
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.
