Abstract |
"Pathophysiology is the study of the altered processes of the body as a result of a disease or disorder. A solid understanding of pathophysiology builds a strong foundation for later nursing and health sciences courses. This book strives to keep pathophysiology oriented in the clinical context never forgetting the patient rather than on science alone"--Provided by publisher. |
