You will never want to go to a nursing clinical withouth this book! I found the material to be easily understood and found exactly what I was looking for with it's excellent glossery and index. It is similiar to having a palm pilot in my hands! I was able to impress my instructors and my colleagues with information on diagnosis and labs. What an amazing book!
A must for every nurse's professional library

Every nurse and nursing student should have a copy of this reference. Laboratory and diagnostic tests are presented in separate sections, with material in each listed in alphabetical order. Each entry gives reference values (normal ranges or findings for adults and children); description of the element being tested and consequences of deviations from normal range; purposes of the test; potential clinical problems related to deviations, including drugs that may influence values; procedures for specimen collection and/or preparation for the test; related nursing diagnoses; and detailed nursing implications. In an era of rapidly increasing breadth of laboratory and diagnostic tests and related responsibilities of nurses, the nurse's role has become critical for optimum efficacy of such tests. This edition is compact yet concise, a quick reference that does not sacrifice thorough coverage of information, and the spiral binding enhances ease of use. I have had a copy of each edition since the initial publication, and I consider it to be one of the few references that I can't live without.
