A solid understanding of pathophysiology and disease will prepare your students for Canadian nursing practice! Huether and McCance's Understanding Pathophysiology, 2nd Canadian Edition covers the basic concepts of pathophysiology and disease processes from a Canadian perspective. Clear descriptions and vibrant illustrations make it easier to understand body systems and the mechanisms of disease, and online resources bring pathophysiology concepts to life. Updated with Next Generation NCLEX® (NGN) content and the latest PN competencies, this text prepares students for success on the NGN, CPNRE®, and REx-PN and also in clinical practice.

    • NEW! Updated content reflects current Canadian pathophysiology literature and evidence including incidence/prevalence, cultural variations, Canadian research and statistics, Canadian guidelines and standards, and Indigenous health.
    • NEW! Thoroughly assessed and adjusted reading level includes simplified language and explanations to help students understand and learn complex content.
    • NEW! Case studies in each of the Alterations chapters provide students with the opportunity to use critical reasoning and clinical judgement to "pull it all together" and demonstrate application of knowledge.
    • NEW! Reorganized chapter structure supports and reinforces critical thinking and retention of knowledge.
    • NEW! Test-preparation tools help students succeed on the Next Generation NCLEX®, CPNRE®, and REx-PN — both in the text and on the Evolve website!
    • NEW! Comorbidities boxes in selected chapters help students link pathophysiology to pharmacology.
    • NEW! Streamlined content and illustrations ensure that the level of content and depth of information is appropriate for undergraduate students.
    • NEW! More than 30 new 3-D animations are included on Evolve, bringing difficult concepts and disease processes to life.
    • NEW! Appendix of normal laboratory values in SI units is included for quick reference.
    • Introduction to Pathophysiology provides an entrance to the science of pathophysiology and explains why it is important.
    • Lifespan coverage includes nine separate chapters on developmental alterations in pathophysiology and special sections with aging and pediatrics content.
    • Canadian drug and treatment guidelines familiarize students with aspects of clinical practice they will encounter.
    • Consistent presentation of diseases includes pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, and evaluation and treatment.
    • Canadian lab values provide the core fundamental information required for practice in Canada.
    • Canadian morbidity statistics provide students with the Canadian context in which they will be practising.
    • Algorithms and flowcharts of diseases and disorders make it easy to follow the sequential progression of disease processes.
    • Health Promotion boxes emphasize evidence-based care and align with the Canadian curriculum.
    • Risk Factors boxes highlight important safety considerations associated with specific diseases.
    • Quick Check boxes test student understanding of important chapter concepts.
    • End-of-chapter Did You Understand? summaries make it easy to review the chapter’s major concepts.
    • Key Terms are set in blue, boldface type and listed at the end of each chapter
    • Glossary of approximately 1,000 terms is included on the Evolve website with definitions of important terminology.
    • NEW! Updated content reflects current Canadian pathophysiology literature and evidence including incidence/prevalence, cultural variations, Canadian research and statistics, Canadian guidelines and standards, and Indigenous health.
    • NEW! Easy-to-read writing style helps you understand and learn complex content.
    • NEW! Case studies in each of the Alterations chapters provide the opportunity to use critical reasoning and clinical judgement to "pull it all together" and demonstrate application of knowledge.
