Gain an in-depth understanding of the concepts and processes of disease! Understanding Pathophysiology, 8th Edition provides a concise, comprehensive introduction to the way diseases work and how changes occur in the body as a result. With a clinically focused approach, the book begins by explaining cell structure and function. It then examines alterations by body systems and provides a practical guide to clinical manifestations, summaries of treatment, and health promotion strategies. This edition adds new algorithms, case studies for the Next-Generation NCLEX® Exam, and updated content on COVID-19, obesity, and cancer epidemiology. Written by a team of nursing educators led by Sue Huether, this text helps you develop clinical judgment and apply concepts to practice.
