The practice guidelines for elderly care by Dr. Pia Wieteck (ed.) focus on the topic of care planning. In the 4th edition, over 280 nursing diagnoses from the European Nursing Care Pathways (ENP) version 2.6 provide a professionally sound basis for your nursing process documentation. Embedded in discussions on care planning, documentation, and processes, as well as the necessity of standardization, a comprehensive picture of the benefits of using nursing diagnostics in professional practice emerges. Positive effects of application, such as increased planning security, professionally supported documentation, and the utilization of current expert knowledge through the ENP practice guidelines, are convincing to nursing staff. For each nursing diagnosis, you will find the corresponding characteristics, causes, and resources, as well as nursing goals and interventions in a unified treatment pathway.
