Clinician's Guide to Laboratory Medicine: Pocket


Recognizing the importance of lab test interpretation, the National Organization of Nurse Practitioner Faculties and American Association of Colleges of Nursing identified the ordering and interpretation of diagnostic tests as a key competency for nurse practitioners upon graduation.

Our resource was written to help students and practitioners interpret lab tests. Unlike other resources, this book offers a step-by-step approach to lab test interpretation, ideal for learners who are unsure of the next step in the evaluation of an abnormal lab test.

                                                                                
    

Over the years, our book has been widely used by nurse practitioner programs, including the University of Texas, University of Massachusetts, and SUNY Institute of Technology. The American Nurses Credentialing Center has listed our book as one of the texts used to develop the Acute Care Nurse Practitioner Certification examination. Our book has also been used to develop test items for the Advanced Oncology Certified Nurse Practitioner Exam.
