The 10th edition of Porth's Pathophysiology: Concepts of Altered
Health States continues a legacy of excellence by providing
comprehensive, nursing-focused coverage designed to help grasp both
the physical and psychological aspects of altered health. The
book's unique emphasis on "concepts" of altered health states, as
opposed to factual descriptions of diseases and disorders, helps
students grasp both the physical and psychological aspects of
altered health. The Tenth Edition maintains its comprehensive depth
with over 1,100 illustrations to show students the complex
pathophysiology. In addition, over 40 advanced 3D narrated
animations that address the most clinically relevant and difficult
to understand disorders, engaging unit-opening case studies that
reinforce critical thinking and set the tone for the content to
come, and a wide range of built-in study tools. Porth's
Pathophysiology: Concepts of Altered Health States is designed to
make pathophysiology an exciting exploration that relates normal
body functioning to the physiologic changes that occur as a result
of disease, as well as the body's remarkable ability to compensate
for these changes. Indeed, it is these changes that represent the
signs and symptoms of disease. Students develop a strong
understanding of pathophysiology concepts with the easy-to-follow
narrative that builds concepts on one another, defines words as
content is presented, and reviews concepts from physiology,
biochemistry, physics, and other sciences along the way. Key
Features of 10E: *NEW* A new unit on Emergency Medicine . The new
chapters in this section are: Bioterrorism, Emergency Psychological
Issues, Burns, and Shock. The purpose of this unit is to introduce
pathophysiology issues that appear in an Emergency Room or
Emergency situation and are not covered elsewhere in the book.
*NEW* Unfolding Patient Stories: This edition includes even more
cases studies with the introduction of unfolding vSim vignettes
called Unfolding Patient Stories. It is not necessary to have a
vSim product to use this feature. These unfolding vignettes are
designed to start conversations in the classroom by using vSim
patients in the book. The vignettes are completely standalone cases
but if a school is using vSim then student will be familiar with
the patient. Unit opener Case Studies: Prepare for clinical
practice with 14 unit-opening case studies that put a real face on
pathophysiology and help you relate the clinical presentation to
the underlying pathophysiology. Full-color Art: Increase your
understanding of key concepts with the full-color art program
comprised of over 1,100 illustrations showing the clinical
manifestations of diseases and disease processes. Review exercises:
Reinforce your understanding of key content with chapter-ending
review exercises. Objectives and Summaries: Deepen your
understanding by pausing and reviewing salient points using the
easily-identified section-opening Objectives and section-ending
Summaries . Key Concept Boxes: Retain and apply text information
using the information in the boxes help you incorporate key
information into a larger conceptual unit, rather than memorizing a
string of related and unrelated facts. Lab References : Easily
access useful references including lists of common suffixes and
prefixes, normal laboratory values in both conventional and SI
units, and a comprehensive glossary. Animations: Master the most
clinically relevant and difficult to understand disorders with over
40 advanced 3D narrated animations.
