Mosby's Manual of Diagnostic and Laboratory Tests Unknown - 2002 - 2nd Edition

by Kathleen Deska Pagana; Timothy J. Pagana; Kathleen Deska Pagana; Timothy James Pagana


From the publisher

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. - A full-colour interior design and over 135 vivid full-colour photographs and illustrations depict procedures, equipment, techniques, and concepts to make the content visually appealing
- Virtually every clinically relevant diagnostic and laboratory test performed today is discussed, providing comprehensive and complete coverage. More than 700 individual tests are covered in over 360 entries
- Clinical Significance of Test Results sections discuss the pathophysiology (printed in italic type) of disease processes and how they relate to test results. Market feedback indicates that this unique feature is one of the most valued aspects of the book
- Critical Values are highlighted with colour to alert the reader to situations requiring immediate intervention
- Clinical Priorities boxes emphasize especially pertinent information that must be kept in mind when performing or evaluating a test or preparing a patient for a test
- Home Care Responsibilities provide important patient teaching guidelines and instructions for patients outside of acute care settings
- Abbreviations for tests are listed in Appendix C, and symbols and units of measurement are listed on the front inside front cover - Approximately 20 new full-colour illustrations and photographs have been added, making the book even more visually appealing and useful
- Patient teaching priorities are noted with a special icon to highlight information that readers should communicate to patients and their families

  • Increased and decreased abnormal findings have been highlighted with directional arrows to help make this crucial information easier to identify
