PUNTOS CLAVE: # Significantly revised Pain Management chapter. # Chapter checkpoints after each main section. # Each chapter now contains 1 or 2 "Patient's Perspective" boxes which present a first-person narrative on how one patient is coping with a particular illness. This feature was introduced in the second edition in a limited way, but has been developed as a consistent feature of every chapter for the third edition. # Accessible writing style - the author team is known for a conversational tone that is perfect for entry-level nursing and allied health students. # "Focus on" boxes throughout the text provide insight into special topics in research, clinical applications, general interest items, and "in the news" topics. # Concept maps are integrated throughout the text. # Every chapter closes with Case Studies. # Key concepts at the end of every chapter are followed by review activities that include art labeling exercises, constructing concept maps, or completing tables. # Test question files and select images, delivered digitally will be available. # thoughts on Pain Management have been evolving rapidly as new treatments and therapies improve the quality of life for chronically or terminally ill patients. This chapter reflects the most current findings on Pain and Pain Management. # help students integrate information # helps the student understand how the patients view illness, the health care system, and the health care professionals on whom they rely. # Students can keep up with the information in the text since basic principles are explained in a manner that is easy to understand. Remember the typical pathophysiology text is written for medical students and assumes more prior knowledge than the basic health science students have acquired. # Provides expanded coverage for the students who are able or interested in taking on more challenging material. These can provide excellent ideas for classroom discussion or special projects. # Concept maps offer the student a quick, easy-to-follow summary of the material. Concept map exercises help the student learn to organize information effectively. # These provide real-world references, develop critical thinking skills, and reinforce chapter information. # These provide meaningful ways for students to check their grasp of the main ideas in each chapter. # Would it be beneficial for your students to use a book that has a chapte
CONTENIDOS: The traditional pathophysiology book is written for the medical student. Nursing and allied health students (usually at the sophomore level) have simply had to make-do with cumbersome (1500 to 1600 page) books, that assume considerably more science background than the typical allied health student has acquired. The Nowak book is not only briefer (at 700 pages) but is organized in a manner that brings the principles of pathophysiology to the forefront. The authors focus on the relatively few patterns of disease, rather than asking students to memorize extensive catalogs of specific diseases. This conceptual approach is more suited to the allied health student than the disease centered approach featured in the major competitors.
