Editorial Reviews

Reviewer: Beth S Gough, MSN (Monmouth University School of Nursing and Health Studies)
Description: This nursing diagnosis manual discusses types of standardized nursing language including a vast range of nursing diagnoses accepted for use in 2018-2020. It also includes a laminated pocket card with each nursing diagnosis listed with page numbers and a companion website. This is an update of the 2016 edition.
Purpose: The purpose is to provide a reference for creating care plans and concept maps and for helping in the documentation of patient care. An extensive chapter is dedicated solely to describing nursing diagnoses in alphabetical order, which makes it easy for readers to locate what they need.
Audience: This manual is intended to help nursing students as well as practicing nurses develop care plans, especially when creating specific nursing interventions. The authors have been writing books and manuals related to care plans using nursing standardized language since the 1970s. The dedication of these authors demonstrates that they have a true passion for using standardized nursing language to assist with patient care.
Features: The beginning of this manual briefly discusses standardized nursing language, the nursing process, assessment, and concept mapping. The majority of the book focuses on the listing of NANDA nursing diagnoses. Each nursing diagnosis includes a definition, related factors, defining characteristics, desired outcomes, interventions prioritized, and information on documenting. There is also a chapter devoted to associating each nursing diagnosis with a specific health condition.
Assessment: This comprehensive manual is a valuable clinical tool for nursing students learning how to care for their patients and create specific care plans for them. The website interactive links could be very useful to nursing students in the clinical setting.
