Description

This is the official textbook on Lab Values Interpretation created by Nurse Academy.

Are you looking for a guide to quickly learn how to interpret laboratory values? If so, this is the right book for you.

Lab Values Interpretation is a simple and easy to understand book that introduces the concept of lab values and their corresponding interpretations to those that are looking for a simple overview of the subject matter, while also providing a quick recap of the most important information for those that just want to refresh their memories.

The skill of being able to interpret laboratory investigations and understanding the science behind them is very important in the medicine field. It is said that approximately 65-75% of decision making in medicine is done based on the results of laboratory tests. Hence, there is immense pressure on the need for health practitioners to correctly interpret lab values and what they mean in terms of a patient's health.

This book is meant to alleviate some of those pressures by explaining the lab values of the most common tests. Laboratory values essentially provide data in an objective form that relates to the patient's health. Therefore, they can aid in the early diagnosis of diseases that have not yet had clinical manifestations, thereby leading to more effective management of such conditions. They can also aid in monitoring the progress of various diseases so that treatment can be modified accordingly.

Needless to say, insufficient understanding of laboratory tests in a clinical setting can lead to misinterpretation of results, which in turn will jeopardize patient safety.

In this book you will:

*        Get an in-depth understanding of what lab values are and how they are determined.

*        Learn how to correctly interpret the lab values of over 35 lab tests.

*        Be able to objectively measure your patient's health.

*        Use your new skills every single day at work.

*        Be able to use this book as a point of reference for the normal range of lab values.

*        Be able to test your knowledge with some questions that have been added to the last two chapters in the book.
