Study Guide for Understanding Pathophysiology Elsevier eBook on VitalSource, 6th Edition

• Close alignment with format of the main text enables users to go back and forth between the resources with ease.
• Answer key found in the back of the study guide offers one place for users to check answers and evaluate progress.

• NEW! Over 2,650 interactive questions in a variety of formats are used throughout the study guide to help users truly master and apply high-level pathophysiology content from the main text. 
• A wide variety of engaging chapter activities reinforce the application of pathophysiology concepts through: matching definitions, choosing correct words, completing sentences, categorizing clinical examples, explaining pictures, describing differences, and teaching others about pathology.

• NEW! Teach These People about Pathophysiology questions pose questions directly from the patient’s point of view.
• NEW! 30+ case scenarios feature brief cases with short answer style questions to provide real-world examples of how content would be used in the clinical setting.
• NEW! Active headings carry more impact in breaking up question types with language such as "Match these Definitions" instead of "Matching" or "Respond to these Clinical Situations" instead of "Short Answer".
• NEW! Nearly 70 images from the main textbook are incorporated and used in "Explain the Pictures" and "Draw Your Answers" questions to help engage users with visual learning.
