Lab values…lots of numbers to look at and yes, they do all make sense when you know what to look for.

Using a physiologic approach, lab values which go together and why the various combinations exist will be demonstrated.

Expected clinical manifestations and treatment modalities are included as well as monitoring parameters to know when conditions are improving.

A comprehensive review of ABGs will enable the participant to interpret the values and determine appropriate interventions. Lab “Tid Bits” and “Memory Hints” are presented throughout to facilitate understanding.

Clinical correlations are used to allow participants the opportunity to apply knowledge and demonstrate critical thinking.

Target audience for Clinical Application and Interpretation of Labs and ABGs

Staff working in multiple settings such as high acuity areas, medical-surgical units, office or home care settings, Hospice units, and nursing educators. Also, this course is essential for those serving in a clinical resource role such as APRNs, PAs, clinical coordinators, and clinical managers.

What People Are Saying:

This program has been very educational and fun. It will help me be more knowledgeable in my everyday practice and care of patients and in conversing with providers.

Excellent instructor who was very knowledgeable and really brought everything together to be best utilized in the clinical setting.

I will never look at values the same way again! Loved the systematic way of looking at labs, putting them together in groups, and correlating disease conditions with the abnormalities.

I loved all the helpful ways to remember lab values and the pneumonics that were used. The correlations are especially beneficial in looking at a patient’s initial diagnosis and then figuring out what else is going to be affected.

Initially, I was a skeptical about a full day of lab values, but this pulled everything together, was clinically based, and very interesting. Excellent instructor who brought everything to an understandable level!

This is a very good program with lots of great information! The detailed outline will serve as a great reference to go back to. Thanks for simplifying so many labs including ABGs, anion gap, and lactate levels!
