I am in nursing school...and have found that when the big ol textbook poorly explains the lab or diagnostic test...KEE explains it well and the rational and drug interaction is invaluable!!!!
This book is an excellent resource to use when developing a care plan, because it tells the reader everything about diagnostic tests (say, an MRI), lab values (say, potassium), including the description of the element or test, what it does in the body, what the potential problems are with increased or decreased levels or abnormal findings in the body, and even what factors can give inaccurate lab or diagnostic results. Most importantly, it has a section on client teaching. Teaching clients is a central focus of nursing these days; patients need to be educated on the do's and dont's of certain diseases, afflictions, etc. This easy-to-use book is alphabetized for quick reference, which is useful during a clinical rotation. Part of writing an effective care plan is having a foundation of knowledge of lab values and diagnostic tests, and understanding what needs to be done to ensure favorable outcomes.
Had another lab manual for nursing school that was not very helpful. This one is great!
Acknowledgments on page ix include "Dr. Warren Butt for updating the colonoscopy..."Nevertheless, probably my favorite required text in my nursing program. This is a book that is easy and rewarding to use and really opens up the world of lab values. Buy it, and skip to page ix.
Very good for nursing school, has most lab tests in here, although "Normal" lab values vary by facility. It does have an explanation of what each test is for and white raises/lowers each lab, which is nice.
Great book for nursing school. I like how each test is broken explained then results separated by increases and decreases in values. However I had to take off one star because there were a couple of tests missing.
love the easy use. I find it very helpful with looking up values and causes for nursing classes. The alphabetizing is sooooooo nice!
I found this book helpful and so did my classmates. A couple of them bought this book also. It gives very detailed instructions on how to collect a specimen and how to prepare the patient about a diagnostic test.It also give extensive result values along with what disease processes might be altering the values. We also liked that it was easy to read and understand.
