An experienced and multi-disciplinary team of authors map out the intricate interplay between pathophysiology and diagnostic decision-making, two pivotal cornerstones of advanced practice in healthcare
The Advanced Practitioner in Pathophysiology and Diagnostics serves as an indispensable resource for practitioners seeking to deepen their understanding and refine their skills, as the mastery of these fundamental concepts becomes ever more crucial in an evolving healthcare landscape.
This authoritative and comprehensive guide provides readers with an evidence-based, person-centred approach to the study of the functional changes that occur within the body due to disease or injury. With this knowledge, advanced practitioners must then build their diagnostic and treatment strategies, synthesising patient history, physical examination, and diagnostic tests. This text supports the advanced practitioner in developing a deeper understanding of both the mechanisms that drive disease and the critical thinking behind the diagnostic process.

Systemvoraussetzungen:
Das Dateiformat PDF zeigt auf jeder Hardware eine Buchseite stets identisch an. Daher ist eine PDF auch für ein komplexes Layout geeignet, wie es bei Lehr- und Fachbüchern verwendet wird (Bilder, Tabellen, Spalten, Fußnoten). Bei kleinen Displays von E-Readern oder Smartphones sind PDF leider eher nervig, weil zu viel Scrollen notwendig ist. Mit Adobe-DRM wird hier ein „harter” Kopierschutz verwendet. Wenn die notwendigen Voraussetzungen nicht vorliegen, können Sie das E-Book leider nicht öffnen. Daher müssen Sie bereits vor dem Download Ihre Lese-Hardware vorbereiten.
Bitte beachten Sie: Wir empfehlen Ihnen unbedingt nach Installation der Lese-Software diese mit Ihrer persönlichen Adobe-ID zu autorisieren!
