Nursing students quite often find it difficult to relate what they
learn with respect to normal and abnormal physiology to patient
care. In this useful text Roger Watson and Tonks Fawcett clearly
explain: * the concept of homeostasis * the relevance of physiology
to common disorders * the patient's response to these disorders *
the appropriate nursing response. Each chapter is presented in a
standard format with a brief outline of the relevant normal
physiology and how homeostatic mechanisms normally cope. The
student is led to understand what the patient with a specific
disorder feels like and why, and is clearly instructed in what
nursing action to take. Pathophysiology, Homeostasis and Nursing
shows clearly how understanding physiology can improve nursing care
and covers the main issues that relate to basic observations. It
includes questions to help the reader test their knowledge as they
go along and provides an accessible concise text for health care
students, particularly nurses.
