This clear and intuitive introduction to care planning for nurses explains the benefits of holistic, individualised care planning from a professional and clinical perspective. Adopting an original, flexible problem-solving approach to care called the ASPIRE model, it guides the reader step by step through the stages of the nursing process, from assessing patients and diagnosing their problems, to planning goals and interventions, and evaluating progress. The book is carefully structured to explain the theory of care planning in relation to a number of common nursing models and then show how the theory can best be put into practice. It draws on the most recent research to show how nurses can develop individualised care plans from scratch or can use off-the-shelf tools for efficiency purposes. It is written in a clear, succinct and down-to-earth writing style, which will put students immediately at their ease, and is rich with pedagogic features including: Stop and Think boxes to check understanding; boxed Practice Examples to illustrate points made; Research Summary boxes to highlight relevant and important studies; What Have You Learnt So Far? features to recap on key points of discussion; regular activities to encourage the reader to apply what they have learnt to particular practice scenarios. This is a go-to text for all pre-registration nursing students taking courses on the theory and practice of effective healthcare delivery.
