Reviews
*4 stars* """"...provides a broad overview of today's range of diagnostic and laboratory tests.... objectives well met by this book given the constant evolution and increasing numbers and availability of these tests.... [N]icely weaves together varied nursing and medical (including emergency medicine) perspectives. The presentation in this book is absolutely stunning.... I loved the inclusion of patient care instructions pre-, during, and post-procedure.... [T]his all-encompassing manual has it all, ... not only covers laboratory tests, but also diagnostic tests, which adds value for those curious about radiological, electrophysiological, endoscopic, or other non-laboratory diagnostic tests."" - (c)Doody's Review Service, 2023, Valerie L Ng, PhD MD(Alameda County Medical Center/Highland Hospital)
