This text is designed to pave the way for greater understanding and application of nursing diagnoses. It addresses nursing diagnoses and their specific use within the nursing process as applied to clinical practice. Focus on diagnosis and intervention guides the nurse in independent practice and illustrates the differences between nursing diagnoses and other clinical problems. A special section devoted to collaborative problems portrays the co-ordination between nurse and physician when treating the client. Special features serving to enhance the learning experience include: author's notes, providing author insights on nursing diagnosis and clinical use; key concepts, identifying major principles for nursing care, providing a strong foundation for clinical practice; errors in diagnostic statements, comparing similar diagnoses, identifying incorrect diagnoses, explaining the error and providing examples of the correct statement, helping the reader to avoid incorrect diagnoses; and outcome criteria, helping the reader to relate nursing interventions to the outcome. Features new to this edition include: an update on the state of nursing diagnosis; interventions are grouped according to specific populations - child, older adult, maternal and community; all new nursing diagnoses are included; and a simplified format for nursing diagnoses, which includes generic and specific nursing diagnoses with separate designs for each.

Diamond in the rough
Reviewed in the United States on 6 April 2005Verified Purchase
This book looks daunting at first encounter. Each page is crammed with valuable information which sometimes overwhelms the reader. But this is exactly why this book is a gem for me. Other readers find it difficult to follow because they missed the fly leaf which lists all the nursing diagnosis with its corresponding page numbers. In my experience, in order to get the maximum use of this book, go to the fly leaf (the first page after the front cover), look up the nursing diagnosis and its page number. When you get to the right page,voila, all the wonderful information is listed as follows:
Nursing diagnosis->definition->major defining characteristics-> minor defining characteristics-> related factors-> pathophysiologic factors-> treatment related factors-> situational factors->maturational factors->assessment criteria->outcome criteria->general interventions-> and the last is the rationale.
Inside blue boxes are author's notes and errors in diagnostic statements which are very important pieces of information for beginning nurses or students like me. There are also considerations for pediatric, maternal and geriatric patients.
I hope this review is helpful. One last thing, this book does not work for you if you feel hurried. Take your time when you read this book.

Nursing Diagnosis: Application to Clinical Practice (Point (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins))
We're formulating nursing diagnoses in class now. This is the required text, and is very thorough - it really helps the novice figure out the correct diagnosis by major signs and symptoms.
