I checked the test plan, and for lab values all it says is:
"„Identify laboratory values for ABGs (pH, PO2, PCO2, SaO2, HCO3), BUN, cholesterol (total) glucose, hematocrit, hemoglobin, glycosylated hemoglobin (HgbA1C), platelets, potassium, sodium, WBC, creatinine, PT, PTT & APTT, INR"
I think kay21 is asking about variations in what is considered 'normal' lab values. ie one book saying one thing like 1-5, and another book saying 2-6.
My experience with my study materials (kaplan, saunders, lipincott), is that lab values in questions are obviously abnormal or 'high normal'/'low normal'.
I hope this helps some.
