By Janie T. Best DNP RN CNL, Grace Buttriss DNP RN FNP-BC CNL, Annette Hines RN PhD CNE

This groundbreaking text integrates the 3Ps – pathophysiology, pharmacology, and physical assessment – into a comprehensive approach that mirrors the real-world of nursing practice. It promotes a deeper understanding of these essential content areas, reflecting the importance of integration in planning, delivering, and evaluating nursing care.

The book adopts a lifespan approach, featuring six major population-based sections that cover key conditions and disorders nurses encounter in practice. Each section reviews important pathophysiology, pharmacology, and physical exam and assessment information relative to each disorder. A case study concludes each section, presenting a new disorder relevant to the population in that section. This application-focused approach develops critical-thinking skills in students and practicing nurses alike.
