Choose the Canadian workbook that offers a direct path to understanding pathophysiology! Corresponding to the chapters in Huether and McCance's Understanding Pathophysiology, 2nd Canadian Edition, this study guide uses a variety of exercises, activities, and review questions to help your students master pathophysiology concepts. Case studies help students put the information together and develop critical thinking and clinical judgement skills. With new Next Generation NCLEX®-style practice questions, this study tool prepares students for success on the NGN examination and in clinical practice.
-
- 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.
- Close alignment with the format of the Huether and McCance's Understanding Pathophysiology text make it easy to go back and forth between the two resources.
- Images from the main textbook are used in Explain the Pictures and Draw Your Answers questions to boost visual learning.
- Answer key found in the back of the study guide allows students to check answers and evaluate their progress.
