Applied Pathophysiology: A Conceptual Approach to the Mechanisms of Disease – 3rd Edition (Ebook PDF)

Authors: by Carie Braun (Author), Cindy Anderson (Author)

Emphasizing application of knowledge, active learning strategies, critical thinking, and evidence-based practice, this updated 3rd Edition of Applied Pathophysiology: A Conceptual Approach to the Mechanisms of Disease explores pathophysiology through the lens of body function concepts and what happens when function is altered through injury or disease. This novel approach helps students understand that diseases are rarely confined to one body system and challenges them to apply what they’ve learned to a range of diseases, rather than trying to memorize facts about specific conditions. In the process, they learn to think about pathophysiology in the same way practioners do in a clinical setting—by working from symptoms to the cause, rather than the other way around. The 3rd Edition features much that is new including a new chapter on mental illnesses, new case studies in every chapter, and a wide range of new clinically focused features.

PREFACE
This third edition comes at a time when conceptual curricula and concept-based learning are gaining a strong foothold. Should the student learn through a body-systems approach or a conceptual altered functional approach? This text teaches pathophysiology through the lens of body function concepts and what happens when function is altered through injury or disease. e text then illustrates these concepts through select diseases, or clinical models. By explaining the core concepts of altered human function, students can apply a deeper understanding to a range of diseases, rather than trying to memorize facts about specific conditions. Because students learn through application, they learn to think about pathophysiology as in a clinical setting, by working from symptoms to the cause, rather than the other way around.
At its core, this edition continues to emphasize student learning, application of knowledge, active learning strategies, critical thinking, and evidence-based practice through the many features and learning resources that accompany this text. We are excited for the opportunity to share this learning tool and continue to welcome your valuable feedback!
Learning Resources
The supplemental material that accompanies this book provides numerous online opportunities for students to reinforce their learning.
Students can also purchase the study guide, a supplement tailored specifically to the approach and content of Pathophysiology. It contains test-taking strategies, concept mapping exercises, case studies, and quiz questions to further ensure comprehension. Instructors’ resources are available at the Website (http://connection.lww.com/BraunAnderson). Included in the instructors’ resources are the following valuable assets:
● PowerPoint presentations by chapter
● Test generator
● Image bank
● Additional case studies
● Answers to chapter exercises
● Additional learning activities
● Conversion tools
Detailed lesson plans are also available to help instructors transition from a standard body-systems approach to the conceptual approach presented here.
Applied Pathophysiology: A Conceptual Approach to the Mechanisms of Disease represents a paradigm shift in thinking and learning about pathophysiology focused on functional alterations in health. Learning pathophysiology can be fascinating and challenging at the same time. e goal of this text is to focus on the fascinating.
User’s Guide
In today’s health care careers, a thorough understanding of pathophysiology is more important than ever. Applied Pathophysiology: A Conceptual Approach to the Mechanisms of Disease not only provides the conceptual knowledge you will need, but also teaches you how to apply it. is User’s Guide introduces you to the features and tools of this innovative textbook. Each feature is specifically designed to enhance your learning experience, preparing you for a successful career as a health professional.
Take a few minutes to look through the text and get acquainted with its organization.
The table of contents of Applied Pathophysiology: A Conceptual Approach to the Mechanisms of Disease is structured around concepts of altered human function. The categories, devised by a group of educators, were selected by analyzing and clustering human health conditions with high prevalence, incidence, and severity. Clusters were formed by looking at the common impacts and ultimate results of different groups of diseases on the human body.
This novel approach shows you how diseases are rarely confined to one body system and challenges you to build on previously gained knowledge. An integrative study at the end of the book emphasizes the practical nature of the material by helping you apply the complex pathophysiologic concepts that you have learned to a common condition— diabetes mellitus.
Next, take a look at the chapters themselves. We have included some important tools to help you learn about pathophysiology and apply your new knowledge:
