This ebook edition also will be helpful to all other health care professionals who need to know what nurses will do with their patients undergoing laboratory or diagnostic testing.

The depth of diagnostic information in this ebook is awesome and refreshing, no more guessing at what to tell a family about why a test is being done.

This ebooks highlights the implications of WHY the test is needed or WHAT the test will diagnose or rule out. These book should be considered a reference book as it is bulky to carry around, yet a book that is definitely going to refresh any nurse's memory on even simpler ideas involved with diagnostic tests. This product was referred to me by working RN's, and as a nursing staff, I am finding this book very valuable. Reasons for increased and decreased values, concise explanations of given tests, interfering factors and related tests are among the many features presented, all written in an easy to navigate format. As usual, an excellent product from F.A. Davis. I know it sounds like a plug, but there are many reasons my instructors call F.A. Davis the "Gold Standard" in medical reference publications. This book is one of excellent guide for the nurses, gives complete information about all current lab tests. Quick reference to supplement classroom learning. Easy to read. Very relevant to nursing care plans for pre and post testing, and normal value ranges.
