For rational functions, we use simple but elegant techniques to strengthen generalizations of certain results which extend some widely known polynomial inequalities of Erdos-Lax and Turan to rational functions R. In return these reinforced results, in the limiting case, lead to the corresponding refinements of the said polynomial inequalities. As an illustration and as an application of our results, we obtain some new improvements of the Erdos-Lax and Turan type inequalities for polynomials. These improved results take into account the size of the constant term and the leading coefficient of the given polynomial. As a further factor of consideration, during the course of this paper we shall demonstrate how some recently obtained results due to S. L. Wali and W. M. Shah, [Some applications of Dubinins lemma to rational functions with prescribed poles, J. Math.Anal.Appl.450 (2017) 769-779], could have been proved without invoking the results
