1 Amy Rynes, MSN, FNP-BC, CFRN Laurie Smith, Paramedic, FPC
You only get three… Selecting lab values with meaning for five critical patients. Amy Rynes, MSN, FNP-BC, CFRN Laurie Smith, Paramedic, FPC

2 Objectives 1. To gain a greater understanding of lab values in relationship to the patient complaint. 2. Knowing when to ask for particular lab values that may drive or change your practice. 3. Advantages and disadvantages to retesting lab values after interventions.

3 Disclosures No affiliations with product companies.
No financial disclosures.
