Mosbys Diagnostic and Laboratory Test
|
With up-to-date, clinically relevant information, Mosbys Diagnostic and Laboratory Test Reference is the perfect reference to everything you need to know about laboratory and diagnostic tests. Test entries are organized alphabetically, making it perfect for quick reference, and extensive information helps tie together related tests and studies.
Each test entry includes, where relevant: alternate or abbreviated test names; type of test; normal findings; possible critical values; test explanation and related physiology; contraindications; potential complications; interfering factors; procedure and patient care (before, during, and after); and abnormal findings. Related tests are extensively cross-referenced throughout the reference.
Key Features
Possible critical values are noted to alert the reader to situations requiring immediate intervention. A symbol next to drug-related interfering factors highlight the effects of pharmacologic agents on tests.
Increased and decreased abnormal findings are highlighted.
Patient teaching-related care indicates information that should be shared with patients and their families.
Home Care Responsibilities provide important patient teaching guidelines and instructions for patients outside of acute care settings.
Each test includes a Notes section that enables readers to add their own information.
