Planning the care of patients is one of most important aspects of a nurse’s role. Adopting an interactive approach, this book explores the theory of care planning and discusses how this relates to nursing practice in order to provide effective care in a systematic way. 

Three patient scenarios are referred to throughout the second part of the book, and completed care plans are included for reference purposes.  Each chapter contains research summaries, short activities to test your knowledge, and guidance on how to reflect on your own practice.  This will be the only text in the market to link classic nursing theories with modern stategies for care planning. 

‘Care Planning: A Guide for Nurses’ has been designed to support nursing students and registered practitioners early in their careers and is recommended as a core text for CFP and Year 1 or Branch study.
