Synopsis:
This reference is a compilation of care plans for the most commonly encountered clinical problems in nursing today. Written by practicing nurses for students and/or clinicians, this book reflects the most current practice and professional standards in nursing. With more than 200 nursing care plans, including 54 nursing diagnosis care plans, and the addition of Nursing Intervention Classifications (NIC), NURSING CARE PLANS is the most comprehensive care plan book in the medical-surgical market. This edition features two new chapters on how to individualize care plans and how to adapt them to special patient needs. These "cookbook" chapters will assist the novice or student nurse in creating care plans, while the care plans for specific disorders will serve the practicing nurse who needs relevant clinical information.Additional care plans are available on a special website.
