Handbook of nursing diagnosis

This reference aims to provide students with the tools they need to make the right nursing diagnosis. The outline format provides users with convenient and concise access to vital information: nursing interventions for all nursing diagnoses; diagnostic clusters of nursing diagnoses and collaborative problems in all clinical areas; author's notes that clarify and/or differentiate diagnoses and relate them to clinical situations; and a removable card insert listing all nursing diagnoses categorized by functional health patterns. New to this fifth edition are ten NANDA diagnoses approved at the Tenth Conference, as well as new diagnostic clusters for the pregnant adolescent, ureteral stents, neonate with meningomyelocele, and neonate with congenital heart disease.
