Carpenito’s Handbook of Nursing Diagnosis is the ideal quick reference for Nursing Diagnosis information. Compared to Carpenito’s textbook, the handbook is a quick-reference type scope of content, easy for students to use while in clinical, in the classroom or simulation lab. Handbook of Nursing Diagnosis, 15th Edition provides a condensed, organized outline of clinical nursing practice designed to communicate creative clinical nursing. It is not meant to replace nursing textbooks, but rather to provide nurses who work in a variety of settings with the information they need without requiring a time-consuming review of the literature. It will assist students in transferring their theoretical knowledge to clinical practice. The handbook differs from the main textbook because it doesn’t go into the foundation for understanding nursing diagnoses, including care planning and concept mapping. The handbook only covers the NANDA-I diagnoses and collaborative problems. Features • Nursing Diagnoses including the newest diagnoses approved by NANDA International 2015-2017. New edition will include 25 new diagnoses. • Author Notes: Expert Nursing interpretation/opinion of the diagnosis. • Collaborative Problems: Certain physiologic complications that nurses monitor to detect onset or changes in status. These 55 specific collaborative problems (grouped under nine generic collaborative problem categories) have been selected because of their high incidence or morbidity. • NIC and NOC: Nursing Outcome Classification (NOC) and Nursing Intervention Classification (NIC) • Population-Specific Interventions address nursing care for pediatric, maternal, geriatric, and transcultural groups. • A Quick-Reference Card groups nursing diagnoses by Functional Health Patterns for easy reference.
