Here’s the information nurses and nursing
students need to know about laboratory
and diagnostic tests! This nursing-focused,
easy-to-read handbook provides all of the
information you need to understand how
tests work, interpret their results, and provide quality patient care, including
assessing, monitoring, and teaching at
every stage of care—pre-test, intra-test,
and post-test.
Tests and procedures are listed in alphabetical
order by their complete name for
quick reference. The integrated index allows
fast searches by abbreviation, synonym,
disease/disorder, specimen type, or test
classification. Plus, a Body Systems Appendix
includes a list of common laboratory and
diagnostic tests for each body system as
well as nutrition-related lab tests.
