Features: The author, Professor Lynda Juall Carpenito, is a renowned nursing diagnosis expert and a consultant for NANDA. Following the core of nursing and nursing diagnosis definitions—"the response to health problems"—the author provides clear explanations for each nursing diagnosis definition and proposes corresponding expected outcome standards for similar and easily confused nursing diagnoses. Especially for each nursing diagnosis, the author compiles rich clinical experiences and research findings from nursing practice in the United States, offering a variety of nursing interventions for individuals and groups such as the elderly, children, women, and community populations. In the second part of the content, the author also organizes common clinical diseases as headings, listing possible nursing diagnoses and collaborative problems for different disease types. This book serves as a guide for clinical nurses at all levels and nursing students in their work and studies, as well as an important reference for nursing education and research in nursing diagnosis.
