Prepare for Canadian nursing practice with a solid understanding of pathophysiology and disease! Huether and McCance's Understanding Pathophysiology, 2nd Canadian Edition covers the basic concepts of pathophysiology and disease processes from a Canadian perspective. Clear descriptions and vibrant illustrations make it easier to understand body systems and the mechanisms of disease, and online resources bring pathophysiology concepts to life. Developed for Canadian nursing students by educators Kelly Power-Kean, Stephanie Zettel, and Mohamed Toufic El-Hussein, this text prepares students for success on the Next Generation NCLEX®, CPNRE®, and REx-PN™ and also in clinical practice.
