The Nursing Diagnosis Reference Manual helps you prepare your care plans with remarkable efficiency and clinical accuracy. 

Inside you'll find a versatile life-cycle format, with sections on adult, child, maternal-neonatal, adolescent, and geriatric health; and over 300 complete care plans, including care plans for every NANDA-approved nursing diagnosis. For each nursing diagnosis, you'll find: 

  • the NANDA-approved diagnostic label and etiology

  • assessment criteria and defining characteristics

  • associated medical diagnosis

  • expected outcomes

  • interventions with easy-to-spot rationales in italic type

  • evaluations for expected outcomes, and

  • documentation guidelines. 

Sparks and Taylor's Nursing Diagnosis Reference Manual 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.

Care plans are also included for community-based nursing practice, home health, hospice care, hospital, school nursing, managed care, community outreach, health promotion, patient teaching with the Internet, and much more. This book also provides new insights on nursing diagnoses and critical pathways; and fully-revised, expanded appendix relating nursing diagnoses to medical diagnoses.
