Quick question- I was going through first aid for step 2 cs, and sometimes they put a few labs together on one line, while other times there's one lab per line. Anyone have any idea if you can/should group any labs together on one line, if so when?
CS- how many labs per line in diagnostics?

I did and it was fine.
You sort of have to think logically if the blood tests relate with one another. These are the kinds of groupings I used:
CBC with differential
Electrolytes, calcium, phosphate, magnesium, AST, ALT, Alk Phos
PT, PTT, INR
TSH, Free T4, T3, thyroglobulin
I don't really recall using any other blood tests, actually.

Agree with above posters:
If I needed to order a lot of things:
1-Chest xray
2-CBC w/differential, Electrolytes
3-PT, PTT, INR
4-TSH
5-RPR, HIV Antibody, HIV Viral Load
I just kind of grouped what I needed to when I needed to.
I don't know if that is right or wrong, I just took the test a few weeks ago.
