Description
When you make an adjustment to a medication or nutrition support regimen, do you base it on an understanding of the laboratory results and the patient situation – or just in response to the numbers per se? Here’s the place to acquire new skills and improve treatment by learning to evaluate each component of the basic metabolic panel and interpret it in relation to the clinical situation.
LEARNER OUTCOMES:
- Describe the relationship between potassium concentrations and acid-base disturbances.
- Describe the type if information found in red cell indices and how it may relate to nutritional status.
- Discuss the importance of evaluating the differential when the red cell distribution width is wide but the other red cell indices are within normal limits.
- Explain the problems associated with the interpretation of single or isolated lab variables.
- Explain when blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine concentrations may rise together and when the BUN alone may be increased.
