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.
