Published
"Handbook of Nursing Diagnosis" by Carpenito. (Now Carpenito-Moyet)
Worked really well, with lists of problems/symptoms and suggested interventions with rationales and expected outcomes.
try this
The most in-depth and involved was Patient Care Standards
but the Standards book was much more involved/detailed - the more 'down and dirty' (in my opinion) was the 1st book.
Hope this helps
Nurses' Pocket Guide: Nursing Diagnoses, Interventions & Rationales
I love the book MLOS recommends ("Nurse's Pocket Guide: Diagnoses, Interventions, and Rationales" ISBN 0-8036-1179-X). It is short, sweet, and to the point! I use if often, when I am grading my students' care plans.
Of course, instructors' expectations vary from nursing program to nursing program, so I would advise you to check with your nursing instructor first as to which NANDA book he/she recommends :) Also, be careful that your NANDA resources are up to date and the diagnoses are current--ND tend to change ever so subtly every two years or so. An example of this is "Deficient Knowledge" now as opposed to the "Knowledge Deficit" nursing diagnosis of a few years ago.
If you pay the shipping you can have mine. I can't remember how much I paid for it, but I'm sure it would cost you more that UPS ground to have it sent. Nursing Diagnosis Reference Manual 5th Ed by Sparks and Taylor is a lifesaver. Although now that I have graduated it is more handy for curing insomnia.
Thanks you so much for the offer...I ended up with sparks and taylor anyway and I think I will be happy....thanks again for the offer:)
