About this listen

Lab values made simple for nursing students and new nurses. Learn the normal range, what a high or low result means, and exactly what the nurse does first, then practice with 300 NCLEX-style questions and rationales. A lab result is only a number until you know what it means for your patient. Most lab books are long lists of numbers to memorize. This one teaches the nurse's next step. Every lab is taught the same way: the normal range, what high and low mean, the signs to watch for at the bedside, what to assess, hold, report and teach, and a Priority point with the critical value and the first action. What you will learn: - How to read any lab result: reference ranges, critical values, lab errors such as hemolyzed samples, and the 4 questions to ask every time - Complete blood count: WBC, differential and ANC, hemoglobin and hematocrit, MCV and anemia, platelets and HIT - Electrolytes: sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium, magnesium and phosphorus, with EKG changes and treatments - Kidney labs: BUN, creatinine, eGFR, 24-hour urine and urinalysis - Blood sugar: glucose, A1C, the Rule of 15, DKA and HHS - Arterial blood gases: a simple 4-step method, ROME, compensation and the anion gap - Clotting labs: PT/INR, aPTT and anti-Xa, DOACs and reversal, D-dimer and DIC - Heart labs: troponin, BNP and cholesterol - Liver and pancreas: ALT, AST, bilirubin, albumin, ammonia, hepatitis B tests, amylase and lipase - Therapeutic drug levels: peaks and troughs, digoxin, lithium, phenytoin, gentamicin and vancomycin - Thyroid, sepsis and more: TSH, lactate, CRP, procalcitonin, cultures, osmolality and iron studies - Special populations: pregnancy, newborns, children and older adults Practice that builds confidence: - 300 NCLEX-style questions with a rationale for every answer, including select-all-that-apply items - A 50-question mixed final exam - Memory Tricks that make the numbers stick - What's New notes for recent changes, such as the 2024 DKA criteria and current sepsis guidance Listeners also get the free online Companion Study Pack on NurseStudyPrep.com: a searchable normal values chart, lab cards that show what high and low mean, a call-now guide, a range drill, flashcards and a printable potassium pocket card. Perfect for nursing school, NCLEX-RN and NCLEX-PN review, HESI and ATI exams, clinicals, and new grad nurses. Listen on your commute, at the gym or before clinicals.
