Handbook Of Nursing Diagnosis

This handbook is the ultimate quick reference to nursing diagnosis. Suitable as a supplement for any nursing diagnosis text, this handbook has a two-section organization. Section I contains all nursing diagnoses, including definitions, characteristics, related factors, outcomes and interventions. Section II contains Diagnostic Clusters with a collaborative focus, to show how nursing diagnoses are used in all clinical areas. Features include Author's Notes, key concepts, interventions with rationale, focus assessment and outcome criteria. New diagnoses have been added, as well as a section on "Errors in Diagnostic Statement." Overall change in design includes text, cover and the addition of a second color.
