About the Book

A presentation of a wide range of laboratory and diagnostic tests with a concrete focus on nursing applications. It features access to more than 700 tests and procedures from the basics - such as CBC, urinalysis and CT scans - to more complex procedures used in speciality areas of nursing - including ERCP, cardiocentesis, cardiac stress tests, and genetic testing. The book provides background information about the test or procedure, explanations of normal and abnormal test results, and emphasizes nursing care for the patient undergoing the test. The scope and content includes all phases of the life span, from the premature infant to the elderly adult. Critical values and possible complications are identified to alert the nurse to the significance of severely abnormal results.
