This volume gives a comprehensive life span approach, incorporating new and revised diagnoses through the 2000 NANDA conference. It is organized alphabetically within each of Gordon's "Functional Health Patterns" to provide easy access to material, while flow charts illustrate the dynamic nature of the nursing process. Related clinical concerns within each diagnosis detail the potential collaborative problems that may arise. The book also contains an innovative pedagogical tool titled "have you selected the correct diagnosis?"
