Product Description
Nursing Care Plans, 6th Edition is the most comprehensive nursing care planning book on the market, with 183 care plans covering the most common nursing diagnoses and clinical problems in medical-surgical nursing. It reflects the most current clinical practice and professional standards in nursing and presents the content in an easy-to-use, reader-friendly format. The book functions as two books in one, with one section including a collection of nursing diagnosis care plans and the other providing a library of disease/disorder care plans that serve as models of care planning for the most common medical diagnoses, medical procedures, and psychosocial conditions seen in nursing practice.

  • The nursing diagnosis care plan format includes a NANDA definition, a brief explanation of the diagnosis, related NOC outcomes and NIC interventions, related factors, defining characteristics, expected outcomes, ongoing assessment, and therapeutic interventions.
  • The disorders care plan format includes synonyms for the disorder (for ease in cross referencing), a clear and succinct definition of the disorder, related factors, defining characteristics, expected outcomes, NIC interventions and NOC outcomes, ongoing assessment, and therapeutic interventions for each relevant nursing diagnosis.
  • Eye-catching icons distinguish collaborative from independent interventions.
  • Covers adult lifespan issues and issues related to various healthcare settings to equip nurses for a broad range of practice settings, from hospital to home.

  • NIC and NOC classifications reflect the latest editions of Nursing Interventions Classification and Nursing Outcomes Classification.
  • Sample care plan clips in Chapter 1 help orient the user to the rest of the book.
  • The expanded index includes entries for all nursing diagnoses, medical diagnoses, and synonyms for the medical diagnoses.
  • An expanded Evolve website now features 18 Bonus Care Plans.

Reviews


Great Careplan Book!
Great book! Has nursing diagnosis along with the care plan set that can be individualized/customized by patient needs. Wished I had a book like this when I was in nursing school! (This was purchased as a gift to nursing student I tutor.)
I highly recommend this book! Easy navigation, with a lot of extras!!!

Nursing Diagnosis
This book has NANDA diagnosis in the perfect order. Unfortunately it receives only four stars because not all the diagnosis are present in the book. There have been a few left out.

Great book
This book is great for the nursing student! My instructors liked it so much they put it on the book list for the nursing program.

Great Study Tool
This book is very helpful. I am a first year Nursing Student and this book has helped me out tremendously! It is very easy to use and gives me plenty of ideas for my careplans. The organization is much easier to understand than the other book that was required for me by my school. I love it! A real life-saver!

Great Book!
I was really struggling with Care Plans til I got this book. It is a great guide for those of us unsure with our Nursing Dx. I have used it for evey Care Plan since I received it. There is a lot of these types of book out there, but this one is the best I have seen. With all the Worries of Nursing school you need all the reliable re- sources you can get!
