about the book• Craft, Gordon and Tiziani’s adaptation of Understanding

Pathophysiology by Huether and McCance builds on the strengths of the US text but has been tailored to the specific, unique needs of ANZ nursing students

• Ordered by prevalence, incidence and relevance it balances the science, clinical case material and pharmacology in the study of pathophysiology.

• Ensures students have a thorough understanding of the disease processes they will encounter once they enter clinical practice

Body Systems are examined first by structure and function, then by alteration. This allows students to analyse, compare and understand the normal versus altered states

Diseases are presented according to their prevalence, incidence and relevance in ANZ. This prepares students for what they will experience in the clinical setting.

Lifespan Approach identifies diseases specific to children and the aged

NEW!! Contemporary Health IssuesExamines the overall health of our society. with specific chapters on Stress, Genes and the Environment; Obesity and Diabetes; Cancer; Mental Illness and Indigenous Health

what the reviewers said....

I like the way complex Pathophysiology is explained in language that is easy to read and understand. I thought the cancer chapter e.g. was refreshingly different to read.

Judie Gardiner - EIT

Language is very readable and makes accessible what is a difficult area. In particular, the linking of knowledge to other reference points of the body’s function and the lay descriptions bring meaning to the material.

Jennifer Hiscock - UNISA

The chapters are presented well using appropriate language and are interesting and easy to read. The chapter summaries provide an excellent overview of the chapters and ensure students understand the main points. The inclusion of local health information creates interest for the student and provides direction for further investigation or study.

what the reviewers said....The mobile study would be a good exam study guide, short and to the point which would help them in remembering key facts and processes. I have noticed that students use their phones especially when given group work where they have to research a topic and provide answers or feedback. Often they use an internet search engine or Wikipedia to find out quick info.

Steven Hardman: Notre- Dame

I like the animated concept maps. We have been trying to get students to use concept maps to help organize their learning and make connections and we include info on how to make concept maps in our study material. This would be a nice addition. Students are always asking for more practice questions so having access to a bank of questions is excellent.

Jenny Wilkinson: CSU

I think that any resources that encourage clinical reasoning would help the students prepare for the assessments points for this paper.
