Title: Classification of nursing diagnoses
Description: This book is the product of the First National Conference on Classification of Nursing Diagnoses, an attempt on the part of 100 nurses to initiate the process of preparing an organized, logical, comprehensive system for classifying those health problems or health states diagnosed by nurses and treated by means of nursing interventions. It is the conviction of the conference participants that without such a system, nurses will continue to experience difficulty in educating beginning practitioners, designing and performing research, and communicating nursing care within the nursing profession or across the health system. If nursing is to survive the current turmoil in healthcare delivery, it must do all of these effectively -- and soon. - Introduction.
