Home Health: Nursing Care Plans

This compact and portable reference assists nurses in planning and implementing nursing care in the home setting. Each care plan uses a consistent framework incorporating nursing diagnosis, short-term and long-term outcome criteria, nursing interventions, and client/family interventions. Recognizing the active participations in care by the client and/or family Jaffe and Skidmore-Roth emphasize client teaching and the importance of mutual goal-setting. The second edition includes features such as guidelines for patient self-determination in accordance with recent legislation and revised care plan that reflect current practice.
