The newly revised Twelfth Edition of this best-selling handbook is an easy-to-carry, accessible quick reference to current NANDA-approved nursing diagnoses and collaborative problems. Organized for speedy reference, the book contains three sections: Nursing Diagnoses, Health Promotion/Wellness Nursing Diagnoses, and Diagnostic Clusters with a collaborative focus. This edition incorporates the latest approved 2007/2008 NANDA diagnoses, including a new section on health promotion/wellness diagnoses.

Every NANDA diagnosis includes listings of associated Nursing Interventions Classifications (NIC) and Nursing Outcomes Classifications (NOC). Other features include Author's Notes sections and icons highlighting considerations for special populations. A laminated card groups common diagnoses by functional health patterns.
