Maynard and Adimando’s groundbreaking new Pathophysiology, Pharmacology, and Physical Examination for Advanced Practice: An Active Learning Approach is the first book of its kind, equipping Advanced Practice Nursing (APN) students to harness the advanced pathophysiology, physical examination, and pharmacology content needed for APN-level clinical reasoning. Using a unique, conceptually organized, and “hyperlinked” case study approach, it presents 104 unfolding case studies that each integrate all three content areas. Cases cover the entire lifespan and every major type of outpatient setting. Best of all, each case includes integrated ebook hyperlinks to specific content in your other core Elsevier APN textbooks in all three content areas. These hyperlinks facilitate customized, self-directed learning so that students can focus precious study time reading only the specific content they need in order to complete each case, based on their individual expertise and clinical experience. Help students maximize their study time with this one-of-a-kind resource!
    • NEW and UNIQUE! The first and only book of its kind to integrate APN-level advanced pathophysiology, advanced physical examination, and advanced pharmacology using a case study approach
    • UNIQUE! eBook hyperlinks connect to specific content in other core Elsevier APN textbooks in all three content areas, including:
      • McCance: Pathophysiology: The Biologic Basis for Disease in Adults and Children
      • Rosenthal: Lehne’s Pharmacotherapeutics for Advanced Practice Nurses and Physician Assistant
      • Visovsky: Edmunds’ Pharmacology for the Primary Care Provider
      • Jarvis: Health Assessment and Physical Examination
      • Ball: Seidel’s Guide to Physical Examination: An Interprofessional Approach
    • Conceptual organization and approach, with 104 cases organized by overarching concepts, helps reduce content saturation and promote “scaffolding” for future disorder-specific learning.
    • Online submission and reflective feedback offer tools for self-assessment.
    • Complete lifespan coverage addresses all stages of life, from childhood to older adulthood.
    • Cases address all major outpatient settings in which primary care is delivered in today’s healthcare environment.
    • Strong emphasis on APN-level clinical reasoning prepares students for real-world practice.
