Not that I know of. If you look for careplan books, however, you might have more luck. My nursing careplan book is a GODSEND! (Don't remember the title... it's purple, though, and says nursing careplanning on it...)
Hope this teensy bit of info helps in some minute way...

(grins) I like the monkey dance. (Yes, careplans are destroying my brain)

You are my new best friend! Thanks so much for sharing these awesome sites!

There are currently 188 NANDA-I officially approved nursing diagnoses (per NANDA-I Nursing Diagnoses: Definitions & Classification 2007-2008 published by NANDA International, page ix), so this list is hardly inclusive.

Hi, Koko1!

Here are weblinks on nursing concept maps:

• http://cord.org/txcollabnursing/onsite_conceptmap.htm - an explanation about what concept mapping is with an example of what one looks like and how it is put together.

• http://allnurses.com/forums/f50/concept-maps-155445.html - this is an older thread on this forum that a couple of students posted concept maps to, so you can view them as samples.

• http://elsevier.touchwood.net/lewis/ - this is an online Concept Map Creator from Lewis' Medical-Surgical Nursing: Assessment and Management of Clinical Problems, an on line student help site from elsevier publishing.

There is also a book that has been published called Concept Mapping: A Critical-Thinking Approach to Care Planning by Pamela McHugh Schuster that costs about $26 and has about 173 pages. This author is an instructor in a nursing school that uses concept mapping. She goes through the steps of the nursing process and how to apply concept mapping with the steps of the nursing process. There are a number of forms scattered throughout the book. It is written and aimed at student nurses. It has a separate chapter on concept mapping patients with psychosocial problems. It also includes two appendices which have the current NANDA nursing diagnoses classified and sorted by (1) Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs and (2) Gordon's Functional Health Patterns.

FYI. . .there is another sticky thread you should check out for help with writing careplans on the Nursing Student Assistance Forum on allnurses as well. Here is a link to it: http://allnurses.com/forums/f205/desperately-need-help-careplans-170689.html
