PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
NEW!
Pathophysiology for Advanced Practice M. Linda Workman, PhD, BSN, MSN John M. Clochesy, PhD, MA, RN Designed for Learning. Grounded in Science. Built for Practice. This comprehensive, first-edition text, developed specifically for advanced practice education, explores the cellular and molecular mechanisms of disease, organ-specific pathologies, and multisystem disorders with an emphasis on evidence-based application. Students will make the connections to pathophysiology within the context of pharmacology and assessment, enabling them to grasp not only what is happening in the body, but also how it intersects with the "3P" cornerstones of clinical decision-making. This approach reinforces the interconnected nature of advanced practice knowledge and better prepares students to deliver optimal real-world patient care. § Clear, student-friendly writing and a logical organization make challenging content accessible and engaging. § Consistent pedagogical tools, including learning outcomes, key terms, and key connections, support comprehension and retention. § "Assessment Connection" and "Pharmacology Connection" boxes link pathophysiology, pharmacology, and assessment concepts, helping students tie together the 3Ps and understand how their integration supports precise, informed clinical decisions. § "Clinical Connection" boxes inform how a pathophysiologic concept or process relates to clinical practice, including diagnostic reasoning and selection of management strategies. § "Patho Point" and "Physio Point" boxes highlight important high-yield facts to recall to further reinforce understanding. § "Pediatric Point" and "Gero Point" boxes identity key clinical considerations for populations across the lifespan. § "Social Determinants of Health" boxes identify economic or other disparities that might impact access to or delivery of care. § "Genetic/Genomic Point" boxes highlight key genetic issues related to certain disorders. § "Zebra" lists detail unusual or rare conditions diagnosed and managed by specialists that the primary care practitioner should know as a collaborator in clinical care. § "So, Why?" boxes address questions most frequently asked by students, explaining complicated concepts using easy-to-grasp analogies or clinical application examples. § Up-to-date research and practice insights reflect current trends in healthcare and the evolving responsibilities of advanced practice providers.
