Publisher Description: The Nurse's Guide to Labs: A Quick and Easy Resource is a quick, easy reference tool that helps nursing students understand common lab values. For each laboratory test, a clear definition is provided, along with some pathology if relevant. When relevant, students also learn what constitutes a normal versus a critical result. The guide explains common reasons for abnormal values, and addresses the nursing implications and responsibilities when such values occur. Cheryl Miller is a registered nurse who earned both her M.S.N. and her Ed.D. at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. Dr. Miller is a professor of nursing at Chattanooga State Community College where she teaches medical-surgical nursing specializing in critical care, and serves as the chair of the nursing program effectiveness committee, and as liaison with area hospitals for student clinical placement. She is a past recipient of the Chattanooga State Teaching Excellence Award, and the author of three nursing books. |
