Description
Nursing Care Plans: Diagnoses, Interventions, and Outcomes by Meg Gulanick and Judith L. Myers is a practical nursing textbook focused on developing evidence-based, individualised care plans for adults with medical-surgical conditions. It provides guidance for identifying nursing diagnoses and clinical problems and translating them into appropriate goals, interventions and expected outcomes.
The book includes disorder-specific care plans covering common medical and surgical conditions, organised by body system, including cardiac, pulmonary and renal disorders. It also provides pre-formatted plans for specific nursing diagnoses and clinical problems that can serve as building blocks for developing patient care plans. Interventions are prioritised from actual problems to risk-for problems and from independent nursing actions to collaborative medical treatments.
A useful reference for nursing students and practising nurses who need practical guidance on assessment, care planning, nursing interventions and patient outcomes.
