Description:<\/b>
\n<\/b>Barb Bancroft\u2019s approach to Interpreting Lab Tests is a \u201cmust hear\u201d for nurses in all areas and nurses at all levels. You will leave the seminar with a number of practical pearls that can be applied to your patients in the hospital, in the primary care facility, or in the ICU. The WBC and differential is discussed as it relates to viral infections, bacterial infections, and parasitic infections. Iron deficiency anemias will be differentiated from B12 and folic acid anemias and you\u2019ll get some helpful hints for patient with lead as a cause of anemia. The lipid profile will be discussed, as will liver function tests and clinical correlations. Various drugs will be correlated with their effects on lab tests, including chemotherapy, antibiotics, statins and other lipid-lowering agents. In addition, because we are in the age of COVID -19, Barb will give an extended description of what happens physiologically in a \u201cCytokine Storm\u201d and what you may see physically and in Lab Tests in a patient who has COVID -19.<\/p>\n
