  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.
