Riassunto

This study guide is intended to encourage an understanding of the consequences of pathologic processes on the structure and function of the human body. Specially desined to parallel McCance and Huether: Pathophysiology: The Biologic Basis for Disease in Adults and Children, 5th edition, this helpful study guide and workbook is just what you need for in-depth study and review of the most important facts and information on pathophysiology.

• The Study Guide includes learning objectives with corresponding textbook page numbers for review.
• Learning objectives keep you focused on essential information.
• Special Memory Check! Boxes help you remember key points from the text.
• Concise summaries of key concepts highlight "must know" information.
• A practice examination for each chapter helps you test your understanding.
