- NEW! The only Canadian nursing pathophysiology study guide on the market allows students to more fully grasp and apply complex pathophysiology concepts.
- NEW! NGN case studies include questions to help students in applying pathophysiology concepts and preparing for the NGN examination, with suggested answers included at the back of the book.
- Wide range of engaging activities allows students to assess their knowledge or identify areas for further study with matching definitions, choosing correct words, completing sentences, categorizing clinical examples, explaining pictures, describing differences, and teaching others about pathophysiology.
- More than 2,600 interactive questions in a variety of formats help students review and truly master high-level pathophysiology content.
- Case scenarios feature brief, real-world case studies with short answer-style questions.
- Teach People About Pathophysiology questions ask students to respond to questions posed directly from the patient’s point of view.
- Active headings break up question types with impactful language such as Match these Definitions instead of Matching or Respond to these Clinical Situations instead of Short Answer.
