"The ideal quick reference to nursing diagnosis and collaborative problems, this practical handbook uses a two-part format and easy-access organization to help you reach accurate diagnoses with speed and confidence." "Section I covers all nursing diagnoses - including definition and defining characteristics, as well as etiologic, contributing and risk factors, and population-specific interventions. Section II contains Diagnostic Clusters listing common clinical situations and associated collaborative problems." "Some features of this rapid-access diagnostic guide: nursing diagnoses that are updated with 2005 NANDA changes; NIC/NOC material with each diagnosis takes you one step closer to putting the diagnoses into action; authors notes share personal tips from the author's 20+ years of experience; key concepts identify major principles of nursing care; population-specific focus addresses interventions for geriatric, adult, pediatric, maternity, and community populations; special section on diagnostic clusters helps you associate clinical situations with specific nursing diagnoses; goals relate interventions to outcome to help you evaluate the effectiveness of nursing interventions; helpful icons alert you to important considerations for specific client groups; and laminated card groups common diagnoses as a quick, handy reference, organized by functional health patterns."--BOOK JACKET |
