Pathophysiology tree help....

Nursing Students Student Assist

Published

Hi. I'm in my second year at nursing and I am in med-surg. My clinical teacher wants us to write a very detail pathophysiology tree using a template. It includes step by step progression of symptoms (begining, to death), what is happending in the body at those time, diagnosis and test and treatment.

I'm having a hard time with this. How should I go along with this and can you recommend me a good patho book?

Thank you!!

Is this like a care map? What is your disease?

Hi. Yes this is like a map. I am doing an example patho tree on sepsis. I grouped the disease signs and symptoms by progression into 5 sections, next to it what is going on in the body, then diagnosis/test and last is treatment. It progresses from the beginning to death.Thank you! :)
