Understanding Pathophysiology PDF

I'm a practicing RN for the last 13 years. This book is req'd in my APRN patho class. I must say that all 40+ students hate this book. We have found MULTIPLE mistakes. Prime example: on pg. 363 the book is describing a scissor gait. It states, "The legs are abducted so they touch each other." This is just one of many outright mistakes the book makes. Also, the tests and quizzes provided to instructors have many blatant errors in the answer key (ie-the "correct" answer in the answer key is not necessarily the correct answer according to the text). Not to mention that the book often times is not in keeping with accepted and standardized medical and nursing practice. The book utilizes multiple anacronyms for common medical terms that I have NEVER seen used in actual practice. It will give the definition to these anacronyms once in passing and then only use the anacronym from that point on. You will not find the anacronyms in the glossary anywhere, so the reader is left searching back endlessly for the one passage where it describes the abbreviation. It also substitutes common medical terms for seemingly made-up terms, which I have also never heard used nor have I been unable to locate in any medical dictionary (Taber's, Mosby, you pick). The index and the glossary are utterly useless as they barely include any medical terms and reference pages for topics. The book jumps from one topic to the next without completely explaining each one and then it will skip back. It frequently duplicates information so readers get a serious case of deja vu. I'm also scratching my head wondering how anyone thinks the figures and diagrams are useful. The point of a diagram is that it should quickly and clearly illustrate what the corresponding passages explain. These do nothing of the sort.
