lab book

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I love this book, I have recommended it to all my nursing classmates, and I use it at work. This is an excellent book and I have learned so much more from it. It goes into really good detail on all tests. What the test is, why its important, what its for, gives rationals for abnormal values. I cant stress enough how great this book is.

This is a great book, but I did not need it for my nutritional studies. i would recommend it for someone looking into the medical field more- otherwise very clear and detailed.
