This text aims to teach new students to think like nurses and develop diagnostic reasoning and problem-solving skills. Each step of the nursing process is explained and reinforced with interactive activities. Key features include: tear-out worksheets; NANDA diagnoses; and NANDA taxonomy. This edition has expanded the critical thinking process to an introduction to concept mapping. Throughout, there is an emphasis on the skills of critical thinking and effective problem solving, and patient vignettes illustrate the role of the nurse as an independent and collaborative problem solver.
