Every patient knows to seek medical help when his or her aches and pains become
too much to bear, but how does the healthcare provider determine what is wrong and
what to do to restore the patient to good health? The answer depends on the patient’s
signs and symptoms and the results from medical tests. In this book you will learn
to identify these signs and symptoms, interpret the medical test results, and perform
the nursing interventions that will assist in solving or alleviating the patient’s medical
problem.
