Nursing 88 Nursing Diagnosis Cards

These cards feature more than 200 care plans and cover every NANDA approved nursing diagnosis including those approved at the April 2002 Conference. Each care plan contains a NANDA approved diagnostic label, aetiology, definition, assessment criteria, defining characteristics, risk factors, expected outcomes, and interventions and rationales. This edition includes more than 20 added diagnoses and new plans of care for psychiatric problems, as well as the newly accepted classification system for nurses, Taxonomy II, and a code conversion chart that shows codes for both Taxonomy I and Taxonomy II. The pack also includes one new appendix on critical thinking and nursing diagnosis.

Nursing Diagnosis Reference Manual, Sixth Edition helps nursing students and practicing nurses prepare care plans accurately and efficiently for every NANDA-approved nursing diagnosis. The book features a life-cycle format, with sections on adult, adolescent, child, maternal-neonatal, and geriatric health. Sections on community-based health (care plans on home health, health promotion, and more) and psychiatric/mental health round out the volume. Each care plan includes clear-cut criteria for identifying the right nursing diagnosis, assessment guidelines, outcome statements, rationales with all interventions, and documentation guidelines.
