Welcome to Paramedics! Test Yourself in Pathophysiology. We hope you will find this an invaluable tool throughout your pathophysiology course and beyond!

This book is designed to be used as a revision aid that you can use with your main textbook. Each chapter is designed for stand-alone revision, meaning that you dont have to read from the beginning to benefit from the book you can dip in and out as you need to.

Every chapter begins with a brief introduction covering the main points of the topic and directing you to some useful resources. The chapter progresses providing you with different types of questions that help you test your knowledge of the area.

These are:

Labelling Exercise: identify the different elements on the diagram.

True or False: identify if the statement is true or false.

Multiple Choice: identify which of four answers is correct.

Fill in the Blanks: fill in the blanks to complete the statement.

Match the Terms: identify which term matches which statement.

The questions have been designed to be slightly more challenging in each section. Do not ignore a question type just because you are not tested in that way because the answer contains useful information that could easily be examined in an alternative question format. Answers are provided in each chapter with detailed explanations this is to help you with revision but can also be used as a learning aid.

We have suggested some useful textbooks that may be used to support your recommended text, but be aware that they should not replace the core reading for your course.

A list of common abbreviations used throughout the book and a list of common prefixes, suffixes and word roots commonly used in pathophysiology are provided. At the back there is a glossary.

We hope that you enjoy using this book and that you find it a convenient and useful tool throughout your paramedic studies!
