4 Stars! "...summarizes the pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and treatment guidelines for commonly encountered primary care conditions. It is organized by systems and within each system, chapters represent a medical condition. This book demonstrates the connection between the 3Ps (pathophysiology, pharmacology, and advanced health assessment) in higher education. [It] succinctly reveals the relevance and relationship of the 3Ps when caring for patients.... The clearly written, well-organized book judiciously includes tables, diagrams, and illustrations interspersed throughout each chapter to simplify and clarify more complicated concepts. Each chapter ends with a flow chart representing the disease, its pathophysiology, clinical findings, and pharmacological plan. Chapters have an extensive list of references. The highlight of the book is the inclusion of guideline websites.... I highly recommend this book for nurse practitioners, physician assistants, residents, and novice healthcare providers."
