Make the connections between laboratory and diagnostic testing and the clinical care of your patients

The team that brings you the popular Davis's Comprehensive Handbook of Laboratory and Diagnostic Tests With Nursing Implications now brings you the only text that explains the who, what, when, how, and why of laboratory and diagnostic testing and connects them to clinical presentations, nursing interventions, and nursing outcomes. Using both printed and interactive case studies, you'll see exactly how those connections work in the...

Here's the portable reference you need to explain, prepare, and care for patients before, during, and after common lab and diagnostic testing.

What students and clinicians are saying:

"Great easy to use reference for reviewing in your down-time or when you need to assemble your plan of care. Very concise but at the same time comprehensive enough that I don't find myself scrambling to supplement the information with other texts."

Despite advances in alternative materials, metals are still the biomaterial of choice for a number of clinical applications such as dental, orthopedic and cardiac implants. However, there are a number of intrinsic problems associated with implanting metal in the biological environment, such as wear, corrosion, biocompatibility and toxicity, which must be addressed. Modern technology has enabled scientists to modify metal surfaces or apply special coatings to metals to improve their performance safety. Surface Coating and Modification of Metallic Biomaterials will discuss the most...
