Synopsis

With more than 100 evidence-based, customizable care plans, Swearingen's All-in-One Nursing Care Planning Resource: Medical-Surgical, Pediatric, Maternity, and Psychiatric-Mental Health is an easy-to-use, curriculum-wide reference to guide the development of patient-centered nursing care plans. The only nursing care planning reference book that covers all four core clinical areas, it features care plans for medical-surgical, maternity/OB, pediatrics, and psychiatric?mental health to help you learn to care for patients in any setting. The interprofessional patient problems focus teaches you how to communicate patient problems using the standard terminology of the health professions rather than in nursing-specific language. Safety icons highlight assessments and interventions that focus on safety measures supported by national patient safety standards and goals. Care plans have been updated throughout to reflect the latest evidence-based treatment guidelines and protocols. Care plan components are now labeled as appropriate with the six cognitive skills identified in the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) Clinical Judgment Measurement Model (CJMM) to help you identify, develop, and implement the clinical judgment skills needed for success on the Next-Generation NCLEX^® Exam (NGN) and in clinical practice. With new care plans on Infection, Breastfeeding, and Delirium, a clear, focused approach, an easy-to-use format, and straightforward rationales, this one book will meet your care planning needs throughout your entire nursing program and into clinical practice!
