The newly revised Twelfth Edition of this best-selling handbook is an easy-to-carry, accessible quick reference to current NANDA-approved nursing diagnoses and collaborative problems. Organized for speedy reference, the book contains two sections: nursing diagnoses and Diagnostic Clusters with a collaborative focus. This edition incorporates the latest approved diagnoses from the 2006 NANDA conference. Every NANDA diagnosis includes listings of associated Nursing Interventions Classifications (NIC) and Nursing Outcomes Classifications (NOC). Other features include Author's Notes sections and icons highlighting considerations for special populations. A laminated card groups common diagnoses by functional health patterns.
