Organized by Gordon’s Functional Health Patterns, this unique care plan text is packed with outstanding features—it’s the resource students will turn to again and again. They’ll find everything they need to create and implement great care plans across the lifespan. 125 care plans cover the six areas of clinical practice—adult, children’s, women’s, geriatric, mental, and community health—with a focus on nursing interventions and outcomes rather than etiologic factors. Pattern assessment questions help you to select the right diagnosis. Additional resources are available for students and instructors online at DavisPlus, including Davis’s Care Planning & Nursing Diagnosis Resource Center.
