A reference that helps nurses and students correlate diagnoses with information about clients based on assessment findings, medical and psychiatric diagnoses, and treatment plans. Introductory chapters explain how to use assessment findings, evidence-based research, and other key data to reach a NANDA-approved nursing diagnosis. The book provides care plans for all NANDA-approved diagnoses, including nursing outcomes; offers an alphabetical list of some 1,200 disorders, procedures, states, and symptoms with suggested NANDA-approved nursing diagnoses; and presents nursing diagnoses arranged by domain, class, and diagnostic concept according to NANDA's new taxonomy.
