Lab Values Textbook

This book is an excellent quick reference for looking up normal nursing laboratory values. It also breaks some of them up into gender and age categories as well. The only recommendation I would make would be changing it to a hardcover text instead of softcover.

NURSES' GUIDE TO LABORATORY AND DIAGNOSTIC TESTS (Malarkey)

This is one of the best diagnostic books I have come across, it provides a vast amount of information r/t nursing pre and post prep/care, information about the test, normal/abnormal, etc.

Excellent

This is an excellent book giving you simple, easy to understand explainations of each Lab and diagnostic test.

Concise and the text is readable.

The other lab books I have used were too difficult to search when in a hurry. The format of this book is handy to use when your at the clinicl site and the instructor says "go look it up". Which is the classic clinical insturctor motto.
