Author Description

Providing more than 90 standard plans of care for the most commonly occurring medical-surgical conditions in adults, this interactive CD-ROM helps users eliminate the time spent mechanically constructing plans of care. Ideal for both students and clinicians, this CD-ROM reflects the most current practice and professional standards in nursing, yet its level and format are extremely accessible. Users are offered three points of entry to begin constructing an individualized plan of client care - including the program's Client Database/Assessment Form, the Admitting Medical Diagnosis list, and the NANDA Nursing Diagnosis list. Each point of entry allows users to make selections, input and edit information specific to their client, and customize their care plans. Each care plan also includes expected outcomes, nursing interventions, rationales for the most common nursing diagnoses, and client goals.
