About this book

Care planning can be solely an academic (or paper) exercise, but in this book, based on articles that appeared originally in Nursing Times, the editors and authors show that it is practical, logical and effective. Each of the eleven case studies includes a background patient profile, problems, expected outcomes and interventions, with questions related to these, a critical evaluation of care, and finally, suggested answers to the questions posed. A valuable, interactive resource which helps put theory into practice using a wide knowledge base.
