Nursing Process in Action

A comprehensive text that illustrates how to effectively integrate all the components of the nursing process into an individualized care plan for each patient. Students are shown how to use the medical diagnosis to trace the pathophysiological sequencing of events, how to create a pathoflow diagram and how the diagram relates to the patient's health history and physical assessment. Hands-on examples help students develop necessary critical thinking and problem solving skills. Nursing Process in Action promotes a better understanding of the relationship between the science of medicine and the delivery of care.
