Synopsis

Lab values inform clinical decisions, support differential diagnosis, and determine next steps in treatment, but reviewing reference ranges without context makes retention difficult.

Whether you're in nursing school, PA school, medical school, or training in phlebotomy, as a paramedic, or as a medical assistant, this guide is essential. Lab values are also a foundational topic in radiology tech programs, pharmacy coursework, and nursing fundamentals.

This book simplifies complex topics in laboratory medicine and clinical chemistry so you can focus on interpretation, not just memorization. It is especially useful for those preparing to work in critical care, emergency medicine, or medical-surgical settings where lab values are central to diagnosis and treatment.

This book will help you:

• Understand and apply lab values from CBC, BMP, CMP, ABGs, coagulation studies, cardiac markers, liver and renal labs, thyroid panels, and more
• Build confidence in laboratory test interpretation and connect abnormal results to medical diagnosis
• Learn proper sample collection for venous, arterial, capillary, urine, and stool specimens
• Strengthen clinical judgment, pattern recognition, and diagnostic reasoning
• Master core lab knowledge tested on exams like NCLEX®, HESI®, TEAS®, USMLE®, PANCE®, and ACLS®
• Reinforce learning with multiple choice questions and real case examples

Build confidence and retention before clinicals and exams.

Students across allied health and lab tech programs use this guide to build confidence before rotations. Many pair it with nursing pharmacology guides, lab values flashcards, or quick reference tools to reinforce retention and prepare for clinical exams. It is a trusted tool for interpreting labs in internal medicine, emergency care, and critical care settings, without getting lost in dense textbooks or memorizing numbers that do not make sense in context.

Whether you're in phlebotomy training, pharmacy school, physician assistant programs, or studying clinical lab science, physiology, or pathophysiology, this guide helps turn classroom theory into diagnostic thinking.

You’ll learn how labs shift with disease, how to spot red flags, and how to think through what comes next.

A thoughtful and practical gift for students entering healthcare

If you're shopping for a future clinician, this is a gift they’ll actually use in class, on rotations, and throughout their training. It is also a practical addition to nursing school supplies and study bundles used in nursing fundamentals and pharmacology courses.
