NCLEX LabValues CheatSheet

This document provides a cheat sheet of normal lab value ranges for many common lab tests. It includes vital signs, the basic metabolic panel, liver function tests, lipid panel, coagulation studies, complete blood count, electrolytes, and other values. Memory tricks are provided to help recall some of the key normal ranges, such as relating potassium to bananas and magnesium to a magnifying glass.

LAB VALUE MEMORY TRICKS


SODIUM: 135 - 145 POTASSIUM: 3.5 - 5 PHOSPHORUS: 2.5 - 4.5

*Commit to memory! BANANAS: PHOR: 4


There are about 3-5 in every *don’t
US: 2 (me + you = 2)
bunch & you want them half forget
ripe (½) the .5
ELECTROLYTES

So, think 3.5 - 5.0

CALCIUM: 9 - 11 MAGNESIUM: 1.5 - 2.5 CHLORIDE: 95 -105

CALL 911 MAGnifying glass Think of a chlorinated pool that


you see 1.5 - 2.5 you want to go in when it’s
bigger than normal SUPER HOT: 95 - 105 °F
BLOOD COUNT (CBC)

• Hemoglobin (Hgb)
Female: 12 - 16 g/dL
COMPLETE

Male: 13 - 18 g/dL
• Hematocrit (HCT) 12 X 3 = 36
To remember HCT, (Female)
Female: 36% - 48% 16 X 3 = 48
multiply Hgb by 3
Male: 39% - 54% 13 X 3 = 39
(Male)
18 X 3 = 54

BUN: 7 - 20 mg/dL CREATINE: 0.6 – 1.2 mg/dL


BASAL METABOLIC
PANEL (BMP)

Think hamburger BUNs... This is the same value as


Hamburgers can cost anywhere LITHIUM’s therapeutic range (0.6 - 1.2 mmol/L)
from $7 - $20 dollars Lithium is excreted almost solely by the kidneys...
And creatine is a value that tests how well your kidneys filter
