Riassunto

Pathophysiology Online is a collection of 20 online modules developed by learning experts to boost your understanding of the most important and challenging concepts in pathophysiology. Designed to complement the McCance Pathophysiology 6^th edition textbook, this unique course uses animations, interactive activities, case studies, alogrithms, and more to enhance your comprehension of pathophysiology.

• Outlines for each module provide a complete overview of content to help you quickly and conveniently navigate through the course.
• Objectives highlight the most important material for each module.
• Module Pre-Tests evaluate your knowledge of normal structure and function and help you assess areas for further study.
• Further Exploration sections after every pre-test help you review content before moving ahead and strengthen your understanding.
• Guided Reading Assignments make learning and review more effective by focusing your reading on the most vital content.
• Module Exams measure your progress after each completed module.
• Rationales for all pre-tests and exams make it easy to understand the nature of both correct and incorrect answers.
• Over 80 animations with voice over narrations cover key processes and show you how, why, and in what order disease processes occur.
• Narrated algorithms describe complex health and disease processes to help you visualize how reactions progress and interact.
• Interactive exercises challenge you to think critically about key aspects of pathophysiology.
• Over 600 images including figures, charts and diagrams keep you engaged and strengthen your understanding visually.
• Case Studies presented with clinical figures help you apply theoretical knowledge to real-life scenarios.
• Discussions on message boards allow you to interact with fellow students and instructors.
• Immediate Feedback for all activities ensures you learn the correct answers and identify areas for additional practice.
