This is the only book to explicitly guide clinicians through an evidence-based approach to ordering and interpreting laboratory tests. With over 160 commonly ordered tests, this book is designed to foster more accurate clinical decision-making to attain the highest level of patient care. This book summarizes more than 3000 pieces of evidence and incorporates clinical expertise and decision-making on the ordering and interpretation of tests. To promote ease of use, a convenient table maps labs and their corresponding chapter numbers to the relevant body system to promote ease of use.


Each laboratory test is presented in a consistent format with information on physiology, indications (screening, diagnosis, and monitoring), algorithms, test interpretation and follow-up testing, patient education, and related diagnoses. Additional valuable features include clinical pearls that highlight common pitfalls and gaps in reasoning, and a cost-benefit analysis. This book also includes CPT and ICD-10 codes, charts and tables for clarification, and references for further study.

She has served as the project manager for the Million Hearts® initiatives at Ohio State's College of Nursing since 2013. She leads and serves on multiple state and national workgroups targeted at improving cardiovascular population health and improving student health and wellness. Dr. Gawlik started her nursing career in 2006 and completed her MSc in nursing with a specialization as an adult/geriatric nurse practitioner in 2009 from The Ohio State University. In 2015, she graduated with her DNP and a post-master's certificate as a family nurse practitioner from The Ohio State University. Dr. Gawlik was awarded the Outstanding Faculty Award in 2013 and the Outstanding Leadership Award in 2017 at The Ohio State University. She received an Abstract of Distinction at the Council for the Advancement of Nursing Science Conference in 2016 and the Editor's Pick for 2017 Paper of the Year by the American Journal of Health Promotion for "An Epidemiological Study of Population Health Reveals Social Smoking as a Major Cardiovascular Risk Factor." She was awarded the 2018 American Association of Nurse Practitioner State Award for Excellence for Ohio. She was inducted as a fellow into the American Association of Nurse Practitioners in June 2018 and into the National Academies of Practice in March 2021.
