Description:

Davis's Comprehensive Handbook of Laboratory and Diagnostic Tests With Nursing Implications is nursing-focused and easy-to-read. This full-color manual delivers all the information needed to understand how tests work, interpret their results, and provide quality patient care—pre-test, intra-test, and post-test. Tests and procedures are listed alphabetically for quick reference. An integrated index allows fast searches by abbreviation, synonym, disease/disorder, specimen type, or test classification. The Body Systems Appendix includes a list of common laboratory and diagnostic tests for each body system as well as nutrition-related lab tests.
