LAB VALUES AND DIAGNOSTIC TESTS

Dear nurses,

Updated 7/ 23

Hope your week is going well. I just wanted to let
 you know that information on lab values and
diagnostic tests has just been posted. The CBC
(complete blood count) for example is one of many
lab values that is helpful as a diagnostic tool.

The WBC ( white blood count ) is part
of this test. If very high, this is an indicator
of some type of infection in the body.
