A Godsend for a nursing student
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
This is a very basic, to the point and extremely helpful little book. I can take it with me to clinicals and it helps me do my disease process sheets. It is interesting to read, so I am actually learning from it!! It is a great book for nursing students (I am in my first year).
Great little book, must have in your med-surg rotation

Gives pathophysiology, complications, signs and symptoms, diagnostic tests used to identify the problem, treatment, and special age-alerts that explains age related problems from pediatric to elderly. Great diagrams and charts that compare similar or often confused illnesses (such as Hepatitis A, B, C, D, & E; tells incubation time, onset, age group most affected, transmission, severity, prognosis, & progression to chronicity). Nice black and white illustrations plus 16 pages of color illustrations. Chapters are (1) Fundamentals of Pathophysiology, (2) Cancer, (3) Infection, (4) Genetics, (5) Fluids and Electrolytes, (6) Cardiovascular System, (7) Respiratory System, (8) Nervous System, (9) Gastrointestinal System, (10) Musculoskeletal System (11) Hematologic System, (12) Immune System, (13) Endocrine System, (14) Renal System, (15) Sensory System, (16) Integumentary System, (17) Reproductive System plus an appendix of less common disorders and their causes, pathophysiology, and sign and symptoms. All this in a small, easy to carry, size. The leather cover keeps it as nice as a hard cover book. This is one of my best buys in nursing school.
