ABSTRACT
Gastrointestinal system diseases are frequently encountered in societies and adversely affect the quality of life of societies. Delay in the diagnosis of these diseases leads to serious complications and consequently increases morbidity and mortality. Symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, dyspepsia, halitosis, flatulence, diarrhea, constipation and fecal incontinence are observed. Laboratory tests are performed to determine the patient’s metabolic and disease status. Radiologic tests are essential in the diagnosis of gastrointestinal system diseases and are performed in specialized units. The nurse is involved in the diagnosis and care of these symptoms. They perform the necessary nursing practices before, during and after laboratory and radiologic tests. This chapter was prepared to talk about diagnostic tests in gastrointestinal system diseases and the significance of nursing care in these tests.

Keywords: Gastrointestinal system diseases; laboratory and radiologic tests; nursing care
