Stop memorizing the CMP. Start recognizing patterns. Most students memorize lab values one by one. Experienced providers group them into systems and ask, “What pattern am I seeing?” In Part 1, I break down the electrolytes: ✅ Sodium ✅ Potassium ✅ Chloride ✅ CO₂ (total CO₂/bicarbonate) ✅ Anion gap ✅ The albumin correction that people often forget Save this for clinicals, exams, and practice. Part 2 is next, where I’ll break down the rest of the CMP. 👇 What lab do you struggle interpreting the most? #nursetok #NPstudent #nursepractitioner #labsoftiktok #nursingstudent
