HOW I EXPLAIN LAB WORK TO PATIENTS | Family Nurse Practitioner

HOW I EXPLAIN LAB WORK TO PATIENTS | Family Nurse Practitioner. In today’s video I go over how I talk to my patients about their lab work. The labs we will be looking at are a CBC (Complete Blood Count), CMP (Complete Metabolic Panel), Thyroid with TSH, Hemoglobin A1C, and Lipid Panel. I’ll also give you some tips that I use In primary care for discussing lab work with patients that helps with retention and what I like to touch on with basic disease management. As I mentioned in the video, these aren’t the most scientific descriptions, but the target audience is someone with little to no background in healthcare. I’d love to hear how you describe things to your patients as well, let me know below!
