Common Lab Tests?

Hi all,

I am doing a presentation that is a nursing lab component on "understanding laboratory results" to 3rd year students, and was hoping maybe you could help me with some info/ideas...

1. What would you consider common lab tests that new nurses should have a good grasp of?

2. Do you have any resources for case studies that include observing signs and symptoms and comparing them to lab results to get a clinical picture?

3. Any suggestions for ways to get this info across without putting everyone to sleep? So far I am thinking:

Power point on general info

A matching game (i.e. test to why it's done, or what is being tested...and results to patho)

Case studies set up around the room with symptoms and lab results

A little quiz

I want to stay away from jeopardy and who wants to be a millionaire (who wants to be an RN) games because we've done a TON of them lately....

ANY suggestions would be wonderful, and I really appreciate you taking the time to respond.

THANKS KINDLY!
