Ackley and Ladwig's Nursing Diagnosis Handbook, 13th Edition, is a comprehensive guide that simplifies the process of creating individualized nursing care plans with ease and confidence. This edition utilizes a straightforward three-step system to assist nurses in conducting client assessments, identifying nursing diagnoses, and developing comprehensive care plans. Step-by-step instructions are provided, along with practical examples, to guide practitioners in implementing care and evaluating outcomes.

To enhance the convenience of care planning, the handbook offers a comprehensive list of nursing diagnoses and care plans for over 1450 client symptoms. Additionally, it includes interventions from NIC (Nursing Interventions Classification) and outcomes from NOC (Nursing Outcomes Classification). The book has been edited by renowned nursing educators Mary Beth Flynn Makic and Marina Reyna Martinez-Kratz, ensuring that it provides all the necessary information for writing nursing care plans in a single resource.

The handbook is organized into two easy-to-follow sections. Section I provides a comprehensive overview of the nursing process and guides nurses in selecting appropriate nursing diagnoses. Step-by-step instructions are provided to utilize the Guide to Nursing Diagnoses and Guide to Planning Care sections effectively.

One of the unique features of this handbook is the provision of care plans for each NANDA-International© (NANDA-I©) -approved nursing diagnosis. These care plans are tailored to meet the specific needs of individual patients, taking into account their symptoms, medical history, and cultural considerations. The Evolve website, accompanying the handbook, offers an array of additional resources, including a care plan template, case studies, review questions, and more.

Evidence-based interventions and rationales are extensively presented, supported by research studies and references. Examples of NIC interventions and NOC outcomes are provided in each care plan, allowing practitioners to apply the most effective strategies to their patient care. Quality and safety content is emphasized, with a focus on ensuring safe patient care practices. Section I includes QSEN (Quality and Safety Education for Nurses) content, which is essential for developing comprehensive plans of care.

The handbook also includes interventions and outcomes specific to pediatric, geriatric, multicultural, and home care settings, ensuring that plans of care are tailored to the unique needs of each patient population. An index of NANDA-I© Diagnoses is located on the inside back cover, making it convenient for quick reference.

In conclusion, Ackley and Ladwig's Nursing Diagnosis Handbook, 13th Edition, is a valuable resource for nurses seeking to enhance their skills in creating individualized nursing care plans.
