Nurses learn how to develop plans of care that achieve appropriate outcomes for patients with cardiovascular, respiratory, neurologic, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, endocrine, reproductive, musculoskeletal, integumentary, hematologic, immunologic, and psychiatric and mental health disorders. Measurement criteria and interventions help ensure desired outcomes. Content is organized by body system and disorder so nurses can find the information they need in seconds.
