Using a discipline-by-discipline approach, Turgeon's Clinical
Laboratory Science: Concepts, Procedures, and Clinical
Applications, 9th Edition, provides a fundamental overview of the
concepts, procedures, and clinical applications essential for
working in a clinical laboratory and performing routine clinical
lab tests. Coverage of basic laboratory techniques includes key
topics such as safety, phlebotomy, quality assessment, automation,
and point-of-care testing. Clear, straightforward instructions
simplify laboratory procedures and are guided by the latest
practices and CLSI (Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute)
standards. Written by well-known CLS educator Mary Louise Turgeon,
this edition offers essential guidance and recommendations for
today's laboratory testing methods and clinical applications. Broad
scope of coverage makes this text an ideal companion for clinical
laboratory science programs at various levels, including CLS/MT,
CLT/MLT, medical laboratory assistant, and medical assisting, and
reflects the taxonomy levels of the CLS/MT and CLT/MLT exams.
Detailed procedure guides and procedure worksheets on Evolve and in
the ebook familiarize you with the exact steps performed in the
lab. Vivid, full-color illustrations depict concepts and applicable
images that can be seen under the microscope. An extensive number
of certification-style, multiple-choice review questions are
organized and coordinated under major topical headings at the end
of each chapter to help you assess your understanding and identify
areas requiring additional study. Case studies include critical
thinking group discussion questions, providing the opportunity to
apply content to real-life scenarios. The newest Entry Level
Curriculum Updates for workforce entry, published by the American
Society for Clinical Laboratory Science (ASCLS) and the American
Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP) Board of Certification Exam
Content Outlines, serve as content reference sources. Convenient
glossary makes it easy to look up definitions without having to
search through each chapter. An Evolve companion website provides
convenient access to animations, flash card sets, and additional
review questions. Experienced author, speaker, and educator Mary L.
Turgeon is well known for providing insight into the rapidly
changing field of clinical laboratory science. NEW! Content spans
traditional principles and practices to the expanding applications
of molecular diagnostics that reflect the most current clinical
laboratory practices and technology. NEW! New Frontiers in
Molecular Diagnostics chapter explores the future of the field.
NEW! Coverage of the "new face" of clinical laboratory practice
recognizes of the important need for laboratories for SARS-CoV-2
testing during the COVID-19 pandemic, with an increased emphasis on
safety, patient considerations, and delivery of testing modes. NEW!
Exploration of current laboratory safety issues, strategies, and
the need for various safety-related officers to control problems
such as supply chain interruptions and the risk of infection from
aerosols. NEW! Applications of innovative quality models, such as
clinical outcomes and biological variation, improve the acceptable
standards of laboratory testing and the interpretations of
reference ranges. NEW! Expanded information on new oral
anticoagulants is presented along with the appropriate laboratory
testing, with alternative testing added to the discussion of blood
coagulation. NEW! Increased focus on cell types in cerebrospinal
fluid includes descriptions of associated clinical disorders and
microbial examination. NEW! Expanded comparisons of the
characteristics of important body fluids, such as synovial fluid,
serous fluids, seminal fluid, and amniotic fluid. NEW! Appendix
offers comprehensive overview of COVID-19.
