1.0 out of 5 stars
This book is frustrating and time consuming!,
By MadTParty "mdtparty" (Midwest) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Handbook of Nursing Diagnosis (Spiral-bound)
This book and it's larger ( more complete) version are just a big frustrating mess! The organization is lacking. I agree with the other reviewers, THIS IS NOT USER FRIENDLY. It is very time consuming to use these books. The spiral bound is lacking in info and the larger text is just confusing--- too many references to other places in the book without help given to find these places. Too much work! My school picked Carpenito as well, not sure why!~ Betty Ackley is much more helpful.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Helpful Handbook,
By A Customer
This review is from: Handbook of Nursing Diagnosis (Spiral-bound)
The only reason this book is a four star and not a five is that you do have to learn to use it. It is especially beneficial when dealing with collaborative problems. The larger book was helpful in understanding the whole process of nursing diagnosis and what it is meant to convey; the handbook will suffice for most nursing care plans, rationale tends to be a student pre-occupation. The organization is alphabetic, very clear for me once you know the few nursing diagnoses that are NANDA approved. Carpenito gives clear assessment data that must be present to support the diagnosis and interventions that make sense to select from as appropriate to your patient. I have used the book since the 7th edition and own the eighth and ninth. The tenth is available and I look forward to seeing the changes.

1.0 out of 5 stars
Terribly laid out and unorganized,
By Indy "indymedic" (Indianapolis, IN) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Handbook of Nursing Diagnosis (Spiral-bound)
I only gave this book one star because there isn't a ZERO star rating. This book is horribly unorganized. If there is a pattern to how different pathologies are listed in this book, I sure as heck didn't figure it out. This book's "pocket size" infers that it is to be used as a handy reference, the extra time it takes to actually FIND anything in this book is not worth the effort of lugging it around. Everyone I know who is familiar with this book has agreed with me that this book is horribly "not user friendly". I only got it because my nursing school allowed ONLY this book to be used during clinicals. SHOP AROUND! Find something better.
