Synopsis

This convenient reference is designed to help practicing nurses and nursing students make a nursing diagnosis and write a care plan with ease and confidence. An excellent teaching and learning tool, this handbook helps nurses correlate nursing diagnoses with known information about clients on the basis of assessment findings, established medical or psychiatric diagnoses, and the current treatment plan. This extensively revised and updated edition presents the most up-to-date information on all NANDA-approved nursing diagnoses. Further integration of both the NIC and NOC taxonomies, evidence-based nursing interventions, home care, client/family teaching, and multicultural and geriatric considerations enhance the book's relevance to today's nursing students and practitioners.
