"This quick reference guide contains sample assessment tools, care plans, and concept mapping information essentials for nurses and nursing students. While there are other quick reference resources available on nursing diagnoses, none provide the detail necessary to promote a comprehensive understanding of all aspects of nursing diagnoses, priority-based care, and their associated rationales in one handy reference."
