Pediatric Nursing Care Plans for the Hospitalized Child 3rd Edition PDF Download Ebook. Sharon Ennis Axton and Terry Fugate provide information on developing care plans for children with health alterations.
Each care plan presents information to guide users in developing comprehensive, individualized nursing care plans based on solid, scientific knowledge. Care plans solicit specific client data and prompt the user to individualize the interventions and evaluate the child's individual responses. Interventions and outcomes are suggested to keep parents informed of and involved in their child's care.
This book is intended to help facilitate the care planning process for pediatric nurses. It provides nursing diagnoses form NANDA'S Taxonomy II. The outcome criteria that is included is from Nursing Outcome Classification (NOC). The text also contains suggested Nursing Intervention Classifications (NIC) for each nursing diagnosis, in addition to suggested comprehensive and individualized interventions. Each section begins with introductory information and current medical management.
The user may individualize the care plan for each condition pertinent to her/his patient. The author states that the nursing care plans provided are intended to serve as a framework in which the nurse may customize to her patient. At the end of each care plan is a care map which summarizes the diagnosis in an easy-to-follow format. This is especially valuable as it is easy to read and understand. A CD is also included in the back of the book that contains electronic files for all the care plans.
Nurses are able to create new care plans, customize care plans, add and delete nursing diagnoses and interventions. The plans can then be printed for the clinical setting. I found this to be very helpful in planning individualized patient care. There is some confusion in the book under common nursing diagnoses which are included with each care plan. The reader seems to be referred to the specific diagnosis only to be referred back to that page.
