Description
"The challenge that nurses face today is one of identifying specific nursing diagnoses for those people assigned to their care and of incorporating these diagnoses into a plan of care. This handbook is intended to help in this effort in two ways: by providing a quick reference to each diagnostic category in terms of its definition, etiological and contributing factors, and defining characteristics; and by identifying possible nursing diagnoses that could be associated with the major medical diagnoses."--Introduction.
