The brand-new first Asia-Pacific edition of Fundamentals of Applied Pathophysiology has been brought to life by a team of passionate, local authors to deliver truly relevant and practical content for students studying pathophysiology. This highly visual text is organised by system and the associated disorders, including helpful information for students to look out for when caring for patients, such as: vital signs data, ‘Red Flag’ boxes alerting students to key information they should consider when treating the patient, and ‘Medicines Management’ boxes that indicate key information for the condition.
This new text brings you content that is regionally specific, including local data on illness and incidence rates, and a focus on conditions with higher prevalence in ANZ. Plus, Clinical Reasoning Cycle case studies are found in each chapter to provide students and instructors with detailed, realistic scenarios to work through.
Supported by a variety of digital resources, such as interactive learning modules with video animations and auto-graded self-study exercises, this is a textbook designed for an engaging, interactive learning experience.
