This resource for nursing students presents over 100 nursing care plans, arranged into four sections: medical-surgical, pediatric, maternity, and psychiatric. Care plans are listed alphabetically by disorder or condition within each section. Each care plan begins with an overview of the disorder or condition and a brief review of its pathophysiology. Information on the health care setting, common nursing diagnoses, assessment parameters, diagnostic tests, and detailed rationales for each nursing intervention also is included. Suggestions for patient and family teaching and discharge planning complete each plan. Annotation ©2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR More Reviews and Recommendations
