Madara, Bernadette. (Author). Pomarico-Denino, Vanessa. (Added Author).

Summary: Designed to assist nursing students and practicing nurses with basic pathophysiology of common adult health problems likely to be encountered in either the inpatient or outpatient setting. Organized by a body system approach, each section begins with a brief review of anatomy and physiology and includes a listing of diagnostic measures pertinent to that system.
