Synopsis

Real-world perspectives bridge the gap between the science of disease and clinical patient care. You’ll clearly see “how” to interpret assessment findings and “why” to choose interventions.

Chapters organized by body systems help you understand the relationships between the underlying pathology and the patient assessment data, laboratory findings, and diagnostic testing results.

A 3-year access code inside new, printed texts unlocks Davis Advantage for Pathophysiology for you. A wealth of interactive case studies, quizzes, videos, animations and dynamic exercises, plus an integrated e-book version of the text, offer multiple paths to learning success. This immersive, multimedia experience tracks your progress until you have mastered the concepts and are ready to apply them in class, clinical, and practice.
