Advanced Physiology and Pathophysiology: Essentials for Clinical Practice, Second Edition edited by Nancy C. Tkacs and Linda L. Herrmann is an essential, concise, and clinically focused resource for advanced practice nurses and graduate-level health science students who need to understand disease mechanisms, apply physiological knowledge, and think like a clinician. Published by Springer Publishing Company, this highly practical text links normal physiology to the pathophysiology of common disorders and shows how mechanisms guide diagnostics and clinical management.
Designed to help students understand why patients present with specific symptoms, how to interpret clinical results, and how to translate physiological science into sound clinical decisions, this text emphasizes the critical thinking and systems-level reasoning essential for advanced practice. More than 500 images, case studies, and end-of-chapter key points throughout support active learning and reinforce clinical application of complex physiological concepts.
The Second Edition has been thoroughly updated to reflect current evidence and clinical practice standards, with new and revised content throughout. Learning is further supported by CourseConnect - an interactive digital learning platform that provides focused lessons, practice quizzes, case studies, and progress tracking, ensuring students always know what to review next. CourseConnect access code is included with the text.
Key topics include: cellular physiology, fluid and electrolyte balance, cardiovascular physiology and pathophysiology, pulmonary function, renal physiology, neurophysiology, endocrine regulation, gastrointestinal physiology, immune function, and reproductive physiology. Ideal for DNP, MSN, APRN, and PA students, and essential for advanced practice nurses preparing for ANCC certification, AANP board exams, and clinical specialty certification examinations.
"I was paying $11.99/month for Kindle Unlimited but realized I was renting books, not owning them. Bought this PDF and it's mine forever. Never going back to Kindle."
"Switched from Kindle to these PDFs. Same book, but I actually OWN it now. No monthly fees, no app required. Worth every penny."
"Kindle Unlimited kept raising prices. This is a one-time purchase and the file is permanently on my iPad. Best decision I've made for my reading habit."
"I compared Kindle vs this store. Kindle is cheaper monthly but you don't own anything. Here I paid once and the PDF is mine for life. Highly recommend."
"Left Kindle behind after they removed a book I was reading mid-series. With this PDF, nobody can take it away from me. True ownership feels good."
"Was skeptical about paying $18.95 when Kindle shows $3.99, but then I did the math — Kindle Unlimited is $143/year! This is way better value long term."
"Love that I can read this on any device without installing the Kindle app. The PDF works on my laptop, phone, and tablet seamlessly. So much freedom."
"My Kindle subscription was getting expensive. Switched to buying PDFs here and I'm saving money while actually building a permanent digital library I control."
