Reinforce your understanding of pathophysiology with a practical workbook! Corresponding to the chapters in Gould's Pathophysiology for the Health Professions, 8th Edition, this study guide uses a variety of exercises, learning activities, and review questions to help you master concepts relating to disorders and disease processes. It lets you practice skills and apply concepts to clinical practice. To make review easier, an answer key is included in the back of the book.
Key Features
- Learning activities provide a wide variety of ways to assess your understanding or identify areas for further study
- Labeling exercises challenge you to recall information
- Matching exercises test your knowledge of important terminology
- Review questions ask you to apply your knowledge to more complex situations
- Crossword puzzles offer a fun way to use and become more familiar with content-specific vocabulary
- Compare/Contrast completion charts ask you to distinguish between various diseases and disorders, medications, and complications
- Answer key for all of the learning activities is located at the back of the book, providing immediate feedback
- The same authors as the Gould's Pathophysiology textbook ensure that content in the study guide is consistent and accurate
New Features
- NEW! Updated content reflects and aligns with the revisions in the Gould’s Pathophysiology for the Health Professions, 8th Edition, textbook
