This review is from: NANDA, NOC, and NIC Linkages: Nursing Diagnoses, Outcomes, and Interventions, 2e (Paperback)

I love this book!It should be titled "Care Plans Made Easy". It lists all of the NANDA approved nursing diagnoses and what defines them. Right along with the diagnoses, multiple desired outcomes (NOC) are listed along with definitions. Next to each outcome are the interventions (NIC) that you should/could implement to achieve the desired outcome. These range from major, suggested, and optional. This book really helped cut back on the time I spent writing out care plans for my patients because the information was so centralized into one location. Worth every penny!

3.0 out of 5 stars great concept but lacking explanation, September 20, 2008

This review is from: NANDA, NOC, and NIC Linkages: Nursing Diagnoses, Outcomes, and Interventions, 2e (Paperback)

The book does exactly what it says- it links NIC, NOC and NANDA diagnosis together. However, it doesn't give interventions or explanations like Carpenito or other careplan books. This book would be a great outline to follow if I knew a bit more of what I was doing, I think.

This review is from: NANDA, NOC, and NIC Linkages: Nursing Diagnoses, Outcomes, and Interventions, 2e (Paperback)

Links Nanda diagnoses with outcomes and interventions.
I found it pretty helpful as a beginning nurse...problem is, you do have to be familiar with Nanda, NIC, and NOC to use it, which I'm not very (yet).
