This brand new addition to the "Incredibly Easy! Series[trademark]" makes understanding and interpreting diagnostic procedures a snap. It provides coverage of over 300 diagnostic tests in fifteen chapters in an easy-to-read format featuring light-hearted headings and illustrations. Chapters are organized by test type and begin with a summary of key points. It includes general descriptions of each test, purpose, patient preparation, teaching and care, procedural steps, precautions, normal results, clinical significance of abnormal results, and factors that interfere with accuracy. Key terms, bullets and checklists, logos, and cartoon characters call special attention to the text. Each chapter ends with a quick quiz.
