LAB GUIDE _FREE_MAGNET
Are you ordering enough—or are you ordering too much?
“What Labs Do I Actually Need?” is a free, practical guide created to help new nurse practitioners approach common primary-care lab decisions with more clarity and purpose.
Inside this 15-page guide, you’ll walk through 10 commonly overthought visits:
• Fatigue
• Dizziness
• Headache
• Abdominal pain
• Urinary symptoms
• Low back pain
• Hypertension
• Type 2 diabetes
• Hyperlipidemia
• Hypothyroidism
For each visit, you’ll find:
✓ Focused labs to consider when the clinical story fits
✓ Important red flags and assessment points not to miss
✓ Quick clinical reasoning notes
✓ Questions to help connect your testing to your differential and plan
✓ A simple Before You Sign the Chart checklist
This isn’t another overwhelming list to memorize. It’s a practical desk-side resource designed to help you pause, think through the reason behind each test, and build a more focused workup.
