COX’S CLINICAL

APPLICATIONS OF

NURSING DIAGNOSIS

The final concern that led to the writing of the book was our desire to focus on nursing actions and nursing care, not medical care and medical diagnosis. We strongly believe and support the vital role of nurses in the provision of health care for our nation, and so we have focused strictly on nursing in this book. After all, the majority of health-care providers are nurses, and statistics consistently show the general public has high respect for them.1 In a 2004 poll conducted by USA Today,2 the public considered nursing the most honest profession and trusted the information that nurses give them. This increases the importance of utilizing a standard nursing language to provide the foundation for quality nursing care and continued development of evidence-based practice.

For these reasons, we have written this book particularly geared to student use. Specifically, we wrote the first book to assist students in learning how to apply nursing diagnosis in the clinical area. By using the framework of the nursing process and the materials generated by the North American Nursing Diagnosis Association International (NANDA),3 we believe this book makes it easier for you, the student, to learn and use nursing diagnosis in planning care for your patients.
