Nursing Care Plans Diagnoses, Interventions, and Outcomes 10th Edition

Nursing Care Plans: Diagnoses, Interventions, & Outcomes, Tenth Edition by Meg Gulanick, PhD, RN, FAAN and Judith L. Myers, MSN, RN — Published by Elsevier

The #1 care planning book in nursing education, this comprehensive resource gives students and practicing nurses everything they need to create and customize effective care plans. Covering the most common medical-surgical nursing diagnoses and clinical problems, this edition features more than 200 care plans, each reflecting the latest evidence-based guidelines and national and international treatment protocols. It also features highlighted QSEN competencies and a clear differentiation of nursing and collaborative interventions.

Prioritized care planning guidance internally organizes care plans from "actual" to "risk" diagnoses, from general to specific interventions, and from independent to collaborative/interprofessional interventions, to help nurses select the most important, priority interventions for their particular patients. New to this edition are evidence-based ICNP diagnoses, care plans on LGBTQ health issues and on electrolytes and acid-base balance, and a new Online Care Planner that makes it easier than ever to customize care plans.

The index includes entries for all nursing diagnoses, all medical diagnoses, and all synonyms for the medical diagnoses, providing an easy-to-use, practical tool for accessing the book's content.
