Sparks and Taylor's Nursing Diagnosis Reference Manual

"Sparks and Taylor's Nursing Diagnosis Reference Manual, Seventh Edition" offers clearly written, authoritative care plans for every NANDA-approved nursing diagnosis, to meet the needs of patients across the lifespan. This edition is thoroughly updated and includes fourteen new NANDA diagnoses. Care plans are organized by life stage - adult, adolescent, child, maternal-neonatal, and geriatric - as well as by type of care, such as community-based health care and psychiatric/mental health care. The nursing process is integrated throughout. Each NANDA diagnosis includes associated Nursing Interventions Classifications (NIC) and Nursing Outcomes Classifications (NOC). Appendices include Gordon's functional health patterns, a list of selected nursing diagnoses by medical diagnosis, and NANDA International.
