Reinforce student understanding of the physiology of disease! Corresponding to the chapters in McCance & Huether’s Pathophysiology: The Biologic Basis for Disease in Adults and Children, 10th Edition, this study guide offers practical exercises to help students review and remember basic pathophysiology and make the connections between theory and practice. A variety of questions help students to learn disease etiology and disease processes, and provide practice in applying their knowledge to patient care. Answers are provided in the back of the book, allowing students to check their comprehension as they go.

New to This Edition
- NEW! Thoroughly revised and updated information mirrors content from the 10th edition of the McCance & Huether’s Pathophysiology textbook
- NEW! Additional new algorithms show the pathophysiologic pathways and progression of disease
