Editorial Reviews

4 Stars! from Doody

The sixth edition of this book identifies generic nursing interventions and outcome criteria based on the latest NANDA-approved list of nursing diagnoses. Nursing diagnoses and collaborative problems commonly associated with medical diagnoses are also included for cross-reference purposes. The purpose is to provide an easy, quick reference of current NANDA-approved nursing diagnoses, with guidelines for generic nursing interventions and outcome criteria. This should aid the practicing nurse in devising appropriate nursing care plans. This is a most useful handbook for nurses practicing in traditional and nontraditional settings as well as for student nurses. A user-friendly resource, its pocket-size and nice use of tables and typesetting features makes this book an easy reference to use within the clinical setting. This is an invaluable resource tool for nurses and student nurses. The succinct, generic guidelines for nursing outcome criteria and interventions based on nursing diagnoses should help to guide appropriate nursing care activities. Additionally, this text identifies those collaborative problems and nursing diagnoses typically associated with various common medical diseases and procedures. This edition nicely incorporates new 1994 NANDA-approved nursing diagnoses. This revised handbook is an appropriate addition to individual practitioner, healthcare facility, or nursing education library collections.
