Need help with PathoPhys

I found this book over the Christmas holidays this past year: Pathophysiology: A 2-in-1 Reference for Nurses by Springhouse, Springhouse Publishing Company Staff and absolutely love it. It includes not only the pathophysiology of diseases, but the signs and symptoms, how they are diagnosed, medical treatment and nursing considerations (interventions). It runs about $45 and you can get it through Barnes and Noble or Amazon. I also have Pathophysiology: The Biologic Basis for Disease in Adult and Children, third edition, by Kathryn L. McCance and Sue E. Heuther. There is a more recent edition out. This is an more expensive textbook, quite heavy and thick and a very scholarly work. I sometimes find it pretty hard reading, but some nursing programs use this textbook. There are other less voluminous pathophysiology textbooks by McCance and Heuther that are not as detailed.

Let me caution you that LWW (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins) has been heavily marketing several pathophysiology books that they have put together. I bought one and sent it back because I felt it didn't contain the quality of information which was worth the price they were charging for it. It did not address a very broad range of diseases either. It had very nice pictures is about all I could say about it. Now, the first book I mentioned above is now published by LWW, but it was originally published by Springhouse, a publishing company which LWW acquired.

Here is a Critical Thinking Flow Sheet that I started working on a few months ago and kind of abandoned because it wasn't going the way I wanted it to. It is meant to be printed out on the front and back of one sheet of paper. You might find it helpful for showing the relationship between normal anatomy, pathophysiology, symptoms and treatment. I was attempting to develop a tool that would make choosing a nursing diagnosis and developing nursing interventions easier to do. I never got to the nursing intervention part because but it wasn't turning out the way I was expecting it to.
