I need help with PATHOFLOWS??

this sounds similar to a concept map. it may be a flow sheet. my pathophysiology book is full of them. they trace the progress of a disease step-by-step. i found several websites, one with a template and instructions for a nursing pathophysiology flow sheet, but no actual completed examples (you're probably never going to find one on the internet). on my critical thinking flow sheet for nursing students i ask students to list out the signs and symptoms of a disease as they occur. this is most likely what you are being asked to do. as a disease progresses, anatomy and physiology processes breakdown and signs and symptoms are connected with each step of the breakdown. that's what these flow sheets/concept maps are designed to show. the important point is that the processes and the symptoms are related to each other. later, in nursing classes you learn about medical and nursing interventions and learn that these interventions are also related to these processes and their signs and symptoms. it's all very logical.
