Reading: How to Understand Your Lab Results? What is a laboratory test? A laboratory (lab) test is a procedure in which a health care provider takes a sample of your blood, urine, other bodily fluid, or body tissue to get information about your health. Some lab tests are used to help diagnose, screen, or monitor a specific disease or condition. Other tests provide more general information about your organs and body systems. Lab tests play an important role in your health care. But they don't provide a complete picture of your health. Your provider will likely include a physical exam, health history, and other tests and procedures to help guide diagnosis and treatment decisions. 1.What is the meaning of laboratory test? 2.Some tests are used for? 3.Tests provide general information about? 4.Why is important lab tests? 5.What is the meaning of heath history? 6.Share your ideas about the text with the class. According to the reading answer the following questions.
