Product Description:
This practical handbook should be used by nursing students in clinical courses and by nurses in clinical settings as a quick reference. It guides the nurse in planning what needs to be assessed, monitored, treated, and taught at every stage of care, including pretest requirements, intratest procedures, and post-test care. This updated edition also will be helpful to all other healthcare professionals who need to know what nurses will do with their patients undergoing laboratory or diagnostic testing. All tests and procedures are listed in alphabetical order by their complete name for ease of location, plus the comprehensive, integrated index allows fast searches by abbreviation, synonym, disease state or condition, organ system, specimen type, or test classification.

Rating: - Very helpful!
This book is not even a requirement in my husband's nursing studies but helped a lot throughout his nursing school. I even use it as a reference in my work! It has been very very helpful. I'm very happy that I have purchased this book.
Rating: - Essential
This product was referred to me by working RN's, and as a nursing student, 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.
Rating: - Excellent clinical reference
Excellent guide, 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.
