What was the last cardiovascular lab test you mentioned?
Was it BNP (B-type natriuretic peptide) test?

Can I suggest using some visual texts on future videos.

It's my understanding that not all LDL is bad and that the triglycerides to HDL is more indicative of heart disease risk.

[shalaqlaqi]

I really want to get these cards its looks very helpful, thanks for the video 😌💕💕

[jessicalopes]

My professor does to on the border range. He did potassium 5.2 on on of the answers. So close to 5.0

[TheGarnes]

Hey I ordered the fundamentals index cards and I don’t see cards for diagnostics and that’s apart of the fundamentals of nursing chapters and I just got them yesterday specifically for this chapter so can you please point me to which cards this is on

[Jasminejames]

Do we check d dimer to test pneumonia?

[priscillas]

is there a typo in my cards for hdl? it states >55 for males and > 45 for females

[abhilashkumar]

If you Could mention is it mg or mmol or meq that would be better to understand .

[GCT]

LDL and HDL aren't a cholesterol, why do we keep referring to them as good or bad? They're a transporter of cholesterol. They can't tell us anything about how our cholesterol is doing, for that you'd need to look at our cholesterol particle size.

[akashkhokhar]

The normal range for platelets is 150, 000 - 400, 00 not 4000 as you have said, dear ma'am.
