Editorial Reviews for Mosby's Diagnostic and Laboratory Test Reference
|
With up-to-date, clinically relevant information, Mosby's Diagnostic and Laboratory Test Reference, 8th Edition is the perfect user-friendly guide to everything you need to know about laboratory and diagnostic tests. Test entries are organized alphabetically, making it perfect for quick reference, and extensive page references help 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 book. Plus, the book's small, portable size and durable cover make it a handy, on-the-spot reference.

- A symbol next to drug-related interfering factors highlight the effects of pharmacologic agents on tests.
- Increased and decreased abnormal findings are highlighted with directional arrows.

- Each test concludes with a Notes section that enables readers to add their own information.

- Lists of tests by body system and test type allow the reader to quickly locate related studies.

Summary: incomplete
Comment: I'm a nursing student and I don't think this book was detailed enough.This book did not give the type of information I needed for evaluating labs. There were not interventions listed either. Iw ould suggest finding another book.

Summary: Very helpful for school.
Comment: As a first year nursing student I need all the help I can get! This book is awesome and great for doing rationals and care plans. I especially like that it gives reasons and dx for why the lab values may be out of the normal range.
