Riassunto

The highly successful first edition of "Mosby's Manual of Diagnostic and Laboratory Tests" received rave reviews for its full-colour design and illustrations, user-friendly organization and format, comprehensiveness and readability. The Manual is a complete resource for nurses and other health professionals in either academic or clinical settings. It is the first and only full-colour lab test book available and is liberally illustrated with colour photos and drawings that show exactly how various tests are performed. Virtually every clinically significant test is covered, including the latest allergy blood testing, atrial natriuretic factor, homocysteine, N-telopeptide, and troponins. The Manual is written in the clear style that has become the hallmark of its authors, Kathleen and Timothy Pagana. Mosby's Manual is the most thorough, reliable, up-to-date, and easy-to-use lab test book on the market. The chapters of the Manual are organized by test type. Each chapter opens with a list of each test covered in the chapter, including page numbers for easy reference. This handy list is followed by an overview of the test type covered in the chapter, including specimen collection techniques. The tests within each chapter are then presented in alphabetical order, making each test easy-to-find. The test entries clearly and consistently present information in a sequence that best simulates priorities in clinical practice, and include the following: Test Name (including alternative test names and abbreviations), Normal Findings, Indications, Test Explanation, Contraindications, Potential Complications, Interfering Factors, Procedure and Patient Care (broken down into Before, During, and After), Test Results and Clinical Significance, and Related Tests.
