Correct lab values for NCLEX?

I'm awaiting to take NCLEX and I have been studying like crazy. But the problem that I have been coming across is different lab values for the same labs. The books I received in school NCLEX prep they both have different values in it. I know in the "REAL WORLD" it depends on the facility itself, I want to know what I need to know for NCLEX. The only one that is the same in both books is sodium 135-145. Can anyone give me some suggestions on where I can get the correct ones for NCLEX?

    I don't have a Fischbach manual? Where do I start looking for it online maybe?

    Any lab values I had were pretty obvious such as a sodium of 160 or potassium of 2.5.

    “Fischbach Manual” refers to “A manual of laboratory tests.” If you have a current laboratory reference manual you should be fine. My guess would be that any abnormal values that you receive are going to be readily apparent, regardless of which manual you refer to.

    Good luck!

    Hey if you go to amazon.com and download the FREE nclex review book its called kaplan content, on the chapter which says safety orphysiological integrity, the lab value chart updated is in it.

    Exam Cram is a product of Pearson Vue and as such, I thought that Pearson Vue, who is the the company who administers the NCLEX would have the values that they deem as appropriate for all labs. Although, I did not necessarily memorize all exact lab values because to an extent, you will KNOW whether a value is right or wrong.

    One last piece of advice is that you should not just look at the values but the big picture because two values may not be in their normal range but only one has anything to do with the problem.
