Every nurse and nursing student should have a copy of this reference. Laboratory and diagnostic tests are presented in separate sections, with material in each listed in alphabetical order. Each entry gives reference values (normal ranges or findings for adults and children); description of the element being tested and consequences of deviations from normal range; purposes of the test; potential clinical problems related to deviations, including drugs that may influence values; procedures for specimen collection and/or preparation for the test; related nursing diagnoses; and detailed nursing implications. In an era of rapidly increasing breadth of laboratory and diagnostic tests and related responsibilities of nurses, the nurse's role has become critical for optimum efficacy of such tests. This edition is compact yet concise, a quick reference that does not sacrifice thorough coverage of information, and the spiral binding enhances ease of use. I have had a copy of each edition since the initial publication, and I consider it to be one of the few references that I can't live without.

Complete diagnostic test, especially CBC. Plus, good study guide because it lists what is normal for male, female, child and adults

this book is a nursing students MUST! Its organized, its very clear, and its accurate. This book will help you through your first year of clinicals and some!

very disappointed in this transaction that never took place. Why would u list an item for sale that u don't have espcially a book for college? Waited a week to contact me to say she didn't have it so i had to start all over. Most people need to know that a little sooner to make other arrangements.

Good for school, but I don't use it so much on the floor since graduating.

I filled out a packaging form. I sent pictures of the bent up old used looking book that AMAZON sent me as a new purchase. Never received any response back from Amazon. I think Amazon expectations on NEW and mine are very different. Your Marketplace customers have more respect for each other and the product we ship than you do.

Thanks for charging me 25 dollars for a bent up NOT new book although that is what I ordered from you. Why give people a place to fill out complaints and issues and then never check that area?

Disappointed in Amazon! Been a customer for a while and this was a terrible experience with your company directly! Thanks for never responding to my first issue and complaint. Why did you send this when you really don't care at all about the product you deliver and the customers you deliver it to.
