I am biased here because I love this author.
Dr. Caputti is very detailed in her information while dispersing it in an organized and easy to follow manner. I would recommend anything she publishes as well any conferences at which she speaks to inform RN/PNs of test strategies and how professionals think through patient scenarios.
