Written specifically for nursing students, this book explores the science of pathophysiology as it relates to person-centred care. It provides insight into the core principles that underpin health and illness, the main causes of disease, and supports nursing students in integrating pathophysiology with pharmacology to reflect contemporary healthcare practice and the evolving role of the nurse. This updated third edition: Continues its strong and consistent emphasis on person-centred care via the Bodie family case study; Takes students on a four-stage learning journey with pedagogy allowing them to understand, apply, go deeper and revise; Contains 100 embedded links to videos and 4-colour illustrations for a multimedia experience; Includes new content on sickle cell anaemia/disease, thalassaemia, emerging and atypical types of diabetes. Updated and refined, this remains an indispensable reference for nursing students at all levels and throughout their degree.
