Prioritized nursing diagnoses are listed in order of importance and physiologic patient needs. Detailed rationales for each nursing intervention help you apply concepts to specific patient situations in clinical practice.

Interprofessional "patient problems" focus familiarizes you with how to speak to patients in the consistent interprofessional language of "patient problems," rather than in nursing-specific language of nursing diagnosis. NEW! Non-med-surg care plans increase the book's utility throughout the curriculum, including a new care plan for support of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning, or intersex patient. NEW! Updated content throughout reflects the latest evidence-based treatment guidelines and national and international clinical practice guidelines. NEW! Bolded and highlighted Safety Icon corresponds to the safety competency of the Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN) initiative for easier recognition.
