And, the concepts can be applied to a variety of healthcare settings...from inpatient hospitalization and the outpatient clinic...to home health and private practice.This title features: an introduction to Concept Mapping in Chapter 1; Care Map Care Plans; 7 new Appendices including Comparison of Developmental Theories, Stages of Grief, Psychosocial Therapies and Electroconvulsive Therapy; and, latest NANDA nomenclature. It is organized by DSM-IV and NANDA Diagnoses. Nursing diagnoses and interventions include the definition, possible etiologies ("Related to..."), defining characteristics ("Evidenced by..."), objectives broken down to show long- and short-term goals, interventions with selected rationales, and desired patient outcomes/discharge criteria. Each drug classification lists background assessment data, predisposing factors, symptomatology, and nursing diagnoses and nursing interventions. Unit on psychotropic drug classifications covers anti-anxiety agents, antidepressants, antimanic agents, antipsychotics, antiparkinsonian drugs, sedative hypnotics, and central nervous system stimulants. It also features indications, route, and dosage for individual drugs, not just for classifications.
