• Includes the full range of nursing interventions ― physiologic and psychosocial; illness treatment and prevention; health promotion; individual, group, family, and community; indirect and direct care; and independent and collaborative interventions ― for use in all practice and educational settings.
• Features a section that links NIC interventions to NANDA diagnoses to promote clinical decision making.
• Includes examples of implementation in practice and educational settings.
