AOTA

Occupational Therapy in Acute Care, 2nd Edition, written collaboratively by occupational therapists with acute care and teaching experience and edited by Helene Smith-Gabai, PhD, OTR/L, BCPR, and Suzanne E. Holm, OTD, OTR/L, BCPR, is designed for practitioners working in a hospital setting and others seeking to learn more about this important but often overlooked area of practice. Illustrated chapters offer an understanding of the various bodily systems, common conditions, diseases, procedures, and typical medical management and how they relate to occupational therapy practice. Chapter 10, by Helene Smith-Gabai, focuses on common diagnostic tests performed in the acute care setting; Chapter 11, “Laboratory Values,” focuses on laboratory tests and their implications. Both kinds of tests are important measures of a patient's state of health.
