What the manual covers
As its title states, the manual covers both laboratory tests (such as blood and urine studies) and diagnostic procedures (such as imaging and other investigations). Its length reflects the breadth of tests included and the level of detail given for each. Reference values and the way laboratories report results can vary between institutions, so always interpret results with your own laboratory’s reference ranges. Use the online FlipBook preview on this page to check the table of contents and the layout of a typical test entry before you buy.
About the 7th Edition
This page offers the 7th Edition of Mosby’s Manual of Diagnostic and Laboratory Tests, published by Elsevier (Mosby) in 2021. Laboratory medicine and imaging evolve as tests are introduced, refined or withdrawn, so check whether your nursing program or employer specifies a particular edition, and confirm current local protocols in practice.
How to use it in study and practice
- Look up tests from your clinical day. After each placement shift, read the entries for two or three tests your patients had.
- Connect results with the patient. For each abnormal result, write down the possible causes and the nursing actions that follow.
- Quiz yourself. Turn key reference ranges and patient preparation steps into flashcards; our article on active recall explains the method.
For plain-language information to share with patients about specific laboratory tests, MedlinePlus from the U.S. National Library of Medicine is a reliable resource.
