This proven book focuses on the most important nursing plans, ensuring students learn what they need to know. It is easy-to-understand and contains practical tools to help prepare students for clinical practice. Students learn the importance of evidence-based practice through evidence-based rationales and guidelines. Nursing Care Plans is organized into three units. The book opens with an overview of 11 steps in care planning and walks the student nurse through each phase of the process, leaving students with a clear understanding of the importance of each step. Unit 1 focuses on the introduction to client and family centered care; Unit 2 covers individual nursing diagnoses and collaborative problems; and Unit 3 comprises care plans for medical conditions, patients experiencing surgical procedures, and patients undergoing diagnostic studies or therapeutic procedures. Unit 3 also includes specialty care plans including maternity, newborn, pediatrics, and mental health.
