Ok, so I have used this book to create numerous care plans and while it has a plethera of nursing diagnosises and interventions it doesn't give scientific rationales which is my only con for this book. I have since purchased another care plan book which I use in addition to this book.

The one EXCELLENT thing about this book it that you can easily look up info. for a particular condition which makes creating care plans a simpler process.

I already had the "larger" Ackley's when we were told this was a required book. I was skeptical that it would be more helpful than the large version, but it is so quick and handy, not to mention that you can tote it in a lab coat pocket or your purse. It's like "Cliff's Notes" to nursing diagnoses and care plans. I highly recommend it.

This guide is very good once you understand how it is laid out. I started out by looking for a condition in the index then I would go to Section I of the guide to find what fits my patient (anything in BOLD). Then I'd go to Section II which gives me everything I need to know to write a Nursing dx, Related to (related factors) and as evidence by (characteristics) and interventions I need to perform as a nurse (currently a student). It also provides patient teaching.

When I first picked up this guide, I was frustrated. Once I started to write care plans, it became so easy and very helpful. Good size too.

The book is exactly what I was looking for. It was also nice that it shipped very quickly.

This resource text has been invaluable during my clinical experience as a student nurse. Include pediatric and geriatric interventions and many more interventions than earlier publications. Great!

This is a great smaller book for nursing diagnoses. It's clear, concise and fairly easy to find information in. However, it could be a little more user friendly in helping you to QUICKLY find the diagnosis you're looking for. As far as helping with Care Plans, it lacks "related to" information, but great to have as a second book if you already have a Care Plan book.

This is very helpful in the clinical setting when writing the treatment plan. Well organized.

Book received quickly. Not what I expected but that is what my class syllabus required and most certainly not the sellers fault! The book was in excellent condition and reasonable priced! Thanks for the great service!!!

Good quality , clean, no marks in the book. Cover and entire book like new. Arrived quickly. Just what the Doctor ordered.

I have only begun care plan writing but have found this book to be concise and helpful in guiding my care plans. As my care plans become for focused and detailed I might have to buy another guide with a little more info. This is a good one to start with!
