Description

Applied Pathophysiology for the Advanced Practice Nurse answers the need for a pathophysiology text geared toward advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs). Exploring the how, when, and why of health alterations, this text serves as a bridge between nurses’ clinical experience and their new advanced practice roles. It teaches students to compare and contrast presenting signs and symptoms, discern between possible diagnoses, and determine appropriate management options.

Disorders that have common presentation features are discussed together-because patients come in with symptoms, not diagnoses. Applied Pathophysiology for the Advanced Practice Nurse also features case studies based on real-life scenarios developed from the author’s and contributors’ decades of experience in the field. These activities help students apply and master the competencies necessary for advanced practice clinical encounters.Typham this is the title: Applied Pathophysiology for the Advanced Practice Nurse 1st Edition
