Blood Results in Clinical Practice: a Practical Guide to Interpreting Blood Test Results
Description
Publisher M&K Publishing, an imprint of M&K Update Ltd Dimensions 24.5 x 1.4 x 18.9 cm Language English Print length 124 pages Book Type Paperback, Illustrated ISBN-10 1910451169 ISBN-13 978-1910451168 Publication date 15 April 2019 This book was originally written after feedback suggested that storytelling was very helpful to students and practitioners wanting to remember blood tests and their implications. Each section, where appropriate, therefore contains a story , as well as an overview of the relevant anatomy, physiology and biochemistry. This revised, updated edition continues to use storytelling to aid understanding, and introduces a unique 10-point system to help explain blood results. The use of storytelling has also been significantly improved and refined, following several years of feedback on the first edition. Less formal than a biochemistry textbook and containing more narrative than an online protocol, Blood Results in Clinical Practice provides an excellent, accessible introduction to blood tests and what they mean. It also enables advanced practitioners to reflect on and improve their practice; and includes new and updated sections of relevance to physiotherapists, paramedics, pharmacists and advanced nurse practitioners. Finally, it provides a resource for patients and their relatives who may be keen to know more about the meaning and function of particular blood tests.
