The brand-new Portable reference series, an extension of our popular PortableRN and PortableLPN titles, offers compact powerhouses of clinical information on core nursing topics. Our nurse-experts have sorted through the mass of relevant clinical information on each topic and focused in on the information that nurses need most in their daily practice. Each book presents practical, need-to-know information in an easy-to-use, concise format--an invaluable feature for today's time-starved nurses. Bullets, lists, charts, diagrams, and illustrations allow for quick retrieval and understanding. Synthesizing related, essential clinical information on need-to-know nursing topics, the books in the Portable series are like having an expert consultant right in your pocket. With its unique approach to diagnostic test interpretation, Portable Diagnostic Tests goes beyond the usual information found in diagnostic test references (including normal, abnormal, and critical values; preparation; and nursing considerations for hundreds of common tests) by including step-by-step instructions on collection techniques.show more
