In this newly updated and revised edition, the authors have gone the extra mile to provide nursing students and professionals with all the critical information they need. The introductory chapters, specifically tailored for undergraduate nursing students, offer a comprehensive understanding of assessment, its connection to diagnosis and clinical reasoning, and the purpose and use of taxonomic structure at the bedside.

One of the key highlights of this eleventh edition is the inclusion of 18 new nursing diagnoses and 72 revised ones.

To enhance clarity for readers and clinicians, the diagnostic indicator terms (defining characteristics, related factors, risk factors, associated conditions, and at-risk populations) have been standardized. This standardization also caters to those using electronic versions of the terminology by providing coding for all diagnostic indicator terms.
