This book is an absolute must have for any nursing student or new grad RN. Its organization and plethora of information is unsurpassed by any care-planning source I've encountered thus far. It incorporates JACHO approved nursing diagnoses with standardized outcome criteria, interventions, and rationales. Sections are organized by systemic disorders and precede each medical-surgical condition or procedure with a brief pathophysiology, etiology, and guidelines for patient assessment (i.e. patient history, physical findings, diagnostic studies, and potential complications). Brief discharge planning checklists follow each medical-surgical condition or procedure. Care plans are general; yet allow individualization to your specific client's needs. Compared to other care planning texts, this is by far a more detailed, flexible means of developing goal-directed and action-oriented plans for the daily quality care of your patients.

This is not the best Care plan book to get...no wonder it was so cheap in price. It does not include alot of information. I have two big care plan books and the other one is- Nursing Care Plans: Nursing Diagnosis and Intervention (Nursing Care Plans) by Meg Gulanick and Judith L. Myers. I shoved this book aside and opened up the care plan book listed above because it had alot more information.

i am very happy with the prompt delivery and also the quality and condition of book was excellent. i strongly recommend this supplier without reservation.
