Known for its accuracy and easy-to-use format, Mosby’s® Diagnostic & Laboratory Test Reference, 17th Edition, is your one-stop resource for all the latest testing information. Tests are organized alphabetically and include vital information such as test explanations, alternate or abbreviated test names, normal and abnormal findings, possible critical values, and guidelines to patient care before, during, and after the test. This edition also includes the latest research surrounding each test. Every test entry begins on a new page and all tests are cross-referenced throughout the book to simplify lookup. The compact size, durable cover, and practical A-to-Z thumb tabs make this market-leading reference the ideal choice for anyone wanting quick and easy access to the very latest diagnostic and lab tests used in practice today.
