Conceptual Nursing Care Planning, 2nd Edition, shows you how to identify clinical problems, determine expected outcomes, and choose interventions — all grounded in a logical, concept-based framework. The focus on concepts gives you the big picture, helping you recognize similarities in nursing care based on physiologic concepts, as well as differences based on the needs of individuals. Written by noted nursing educators Mariann Harding and Debra Hagler, this unique book demonstrates how the use of a concept-based approach and standardized clinical problems language makes it easier to plan effective care and communicate with other members of the interprofessional team.
- NEW! Graphic representation of key conceptual relationships in each chapter enhances your understanding of the relationships among patient care concepts.
- NEW! Additional assessment and screening tools for key concepts such as mobility.
- UPDATED! Content reflects current Giddens concepts, updated with the latest evidence to support high-quality care.
- Prioritized care planning guidance organizes interventions in an assess-intervene-teach format to help identify the most important priority interventions for patients.
- Conceptual nursing care plan format includes a definition of the conceptual clinical problem, associated clinical problems, common causes, manifestations, assessment, outcomes, interventions, referrals, patient and caregiver teaching, documentation, related concepts, and related clinical problems.
- 69 conceptual nursing care plans are based on Giddens concepts.
- Unique approach covers concepts not addressed in other books, such as health disparities, risk for perinatal problems, impaired immunity, substance use, sensory deficits, continuity of care, and the dying process.
- Use of standardized nursing language throughout conveys concepts and clinical problems in easily understandable language that is commonly used in clinical settings.
- Exemplars section in the back of the book lists conditions with clinical problems that might be applicable in a particular patient population (Medical-Surgical, Pediatric, Maternity, Psychiatric).
