Every test entry is up-to-date, concise, complete, and consistently presented. Plus, the book's ease-of-use and clear test descriptions make it an excellent choice for nursing students and primary care providers, including nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and medical doctors. * A list of more than 600 diseases and symptoms is provided - along with the tests used to confirm them - to help readers know what tests to order for their clients. * More than 900 laboratory tests and diagnostic procedures are included. That's more than another other diagnostic and lab test reference on the market! * Tests are organized alphabetically, with alphabetical thumb tabs, to provide fast and easy access to vital information. * Extensive cross-referencing is provided for alternative test names and acronyms. * Tests for toxic substances are included - along with panic level symptoms and treatment for dangerously elevated levels - making this a lab, diagnostic, and toxicology book all in one! * Age and gender-specific norms are incorporated, where applicable, for complete life-span coverage. * Panic Level Symptoms and Treatment for dangerously decreased and increased levels are provided in the event of an emergency situation. * Risks and Contraindications are presented in boxes to highlight this crucial information. * The minimum volumes for blood samples are indicated for clients in whom blood preservation is essential. Entries also indicate whether blood specimens can be drawn during hemodialysis. * Entries state whether or not a separate special consent form is generally required for each test, to provide this important medico-legal information. * Guidance on client and family teaching helps readers offer useful instruction concerning test preparation and follow-up care. * Information on herbal and other natural remedies that affect test results is included, along with indications for screening clients for their use.
