The User's Guide to Test Preparation and Performance provides an overview and guidelines for each type of laboratory test and diagnostic procedure to ensure safety and accuracy.
Tests are organized alphabetically with A-to-Z thumb tabs for quick reference.
Each test entry begins on a new page making tests of interest easy to find.
Normal findings are included for adults (male and female), the elderly, and pediatric patients, where applicable, to provide complete clinical data.
Possible critical values are highlighted to alert readers to situations requiring immediate intervention.
Symbols next to drug-related interfering factors alert readers to the effects of pharmacologic agents on tests.
Increased and decrease abnormal findings are highlighted with directional arrows.
Home Care Responsibilities boxes provide important patient teaching guidelines and instructions for patients outside of acute care settings.
Each test is concluded with a Notes section that enables readers to add their own information.
