Very helpful!

This book is not even a requirement in my husband's nursing studies but helped a lot throughout his nursing school. I even use it as a reference in my work! It has been very very helpful. I'm very happy that I have purchased this book.

Excellent clinical reference

Excellent guide, gives complete information about all current lab tests. Quick reference to supplement classroom learning. Easy to read. Very relevant to nursing care plans for pre and post testing, and normal value ranges.

Essential

This product was referred to me by working RN's, and as a nursing student, I am finding this book very valuable. Reasons for increased and decreased values, concise explanations of given tests, interfering factors and related tests are among the many features presented, all written in an easy to navigate format. As usual, an excellent product from F.A. Davis. I know it sounds like a plug, but there are many reasons my instructors call F.A. Davis the "Gold Standard" in medical reference publications.

Davis Comprehensive Handbook is BIG on info!

Davis's Comprehensive Handbook of Laboratory and Diagnostic Tests: With Nursing Implications, 2nd Edition is BIG on information! The depth of diagnostic information is awesome and refreshing, no more guessing at what to tell a family about why a test is being done.

I highly recommend this book to anyone working in the medical field or for patients requiring extensive medical tests.

Nurse's can learn the implications for each ordered test. This books highlights the implications of WHY the test is needed or WHAT the test will diagnose or rule out.

This book should be considered a reference book as it is bulky to carry around, yet a book that is definitely going to refresh any nurse's memory on even simpler ideas involved with diagnostic tests.

My only concern is the cover and pages are printed on thin paper and I hope this book will withstand the normal wear and tear of referencing the book when needed.

This practical handbook should be used by nursing students in clinical courses and by nurses in clinical settings as a quick reference. It guides the nurse in planning what needs to be assessed, monitored, treated, and taught at every stage of care, including pretest requirements, intratest procedures, and post-test care. This updated edition also will be helpful to all other healthcare professionals who need to know what nurses will do with their patients undergoing laboratory or diagnostic testing. All tests and procedures are listed in alphabetical order by their complete name for ease of location, plus the comprehensive, integrated index allows fast searches by abbreviation, synonym, disease state or condition, organ system, specimen type, or test classification.
