Cox's Clinical Applications of Nursing Diagnosis: Adult, Child, Women's, Mental Health, Gerontic, and Home Health Considerations

Updated with NANDA-I 2012-2014!

Organized by MarjoryGordon’s Functional Health Patterns, each chapter features a list of NANDA-I approved diagnoses for that pattern. For each diagnosis, you’ll find a description of the pattern, its defining characteristics, related factors, other clinical concerns, the expected outcome, and suggested target dates to measure client progress. Nursing actions/interventions with rationales are also provided to assist you in learning the reason for those particular nursing actions.—everything you need for great care plans.

This popular resource has helped generations of nursing students learn to develop and implement comprehensive client care plans across the lifespan and in any healthcare setting.
