About this book
The Nursing Diagnosis Handbook: An Evidence-Based Guide to Planning Care, 11th Edition is the leading reference for student and practicing nurses developing accurate, individualized care plans. Written by Betty J. Ackley, Gail B. Ladwig, and Mary Beth Flynn Makic, it provides a complete three-step process for diagnosing the patient, organizing nursing care, and writing the care plan using current NANDA-International nursing diagnoses, NIC interventions, and NOC outcomes.
More than 1,400 client symptoms, medical and psychiatric diagnoses, diagnostic procedures, surgical interventions, and clinical states are cross-referenced to NANDA-I nursing diagnoses for fast bedside lookup. Each diagnosis presents defining characteristics, related factors, suggested NIC interventions, suggested NOC outcomes, and evidence-based rationales drawn from current nursing research.
The 11th edition reflects the most recent NANDA-I taxonomy, includes new and revised diagnoses, and integrates pediatric, geriatric, multicultural, home care, and client/family teaching considerations throughout. Concept-mapping tools and care-plan constructor activities support classroom learning.
A day-one essential for nursing students, NCLEX candidates, and clinical nurses across all settings.
Intended audience
Nursing students, NCLEX-RN candidates, and clinical RNs in any care setting.
