Correction of the description synopsis about the book

You have described an advanced practice nursing book under the heading of the text "Focus on Pathophysiology". This textbook is based on 4 previous editions of Pathophysiology: Adaptations and Alterations in Function. It has been carefully revised and updated. The text can be used in nursing schools, allied health courses,including occupational therapy, pharmacy, physical therapy. It also can be used in Advanced Practice Nursing courses. It provides a description of current concepts of disease processes in order for the reader to understand the effects of disease on the human body. It details basic concepts, bodily defense mechanisms, and all of the major body systems. There are some new learning tools including a glossary of key terms, end of unit appendices, etc. which make the book more user friendly. I hope that you will change your description synopsis. Thank you, BArbara Bullock
