About this title

Synopsis

Practical chemistry for nurses: learn core lab skills to support patient care

In this edition, you’ll find clear, step‑by‑step guidance on common tests and observations that nurses perform. It covers how to interpret urine findings, analyze stomach contents and feces, and understand the role of acids, fats, and sugars in digestion. The focus stays practical and patient‑centered, helping you support physicians with careful notes and reliable measurements.

These pages frame the nurse’s part in chemical analysis with straightforward methods and careful observations. You’ll learn what to look for, how to record results, and what those results can mean for diagnosis and patient care. The tone is practical, not theoretical, designed for real‑world nursing use.

• How to assess urine for blood, pus cells, casts, bacteria, and freshness issues
• How to document stomach contents and vomiting, including timing, appearance, and acid levels
• How to test for sugars and use simple fermentation and chemical tests to confirm results
• How fat and bile affect stools, digestion, and related nursing care

Ideal for readers of nursing textbooks who need a solid, hands‑on reference to basic chemical analyses and their clinical significance.
