I am a 2nd year nursing student and this book is well organized and covers a multitude of diagnosises that others do not.
If you need it broken down by Nursing diagnosis and their definitions to qualify a client for that diagnosis,this information is in the beginning of the book.
This is a must book for nursing clinicals.

I am in an accelerated RN program and I had never before written a care plan. I found the required Carpenito book too difficult to follow and my clinical instructor recommended this one. It was great. All you have to do is look up the condition you are ineterested in and it will give you all revelant care plans. I highly receommend it to all new nursing students.

This book saved me in nursing school! Every semester my teachers kept a copy of my nursing plans to show future students. My friends struggled with care plans, but this book made it easy for me. Highly recommended!

I am a senior nursing student and this book is a GODSEND for care plan assignments and as a supplement for class lectures. Organization by medical diagnosis rather than nursing diagnoses helps by including pathophysiology and disease-specific nursing interventions. Interventions are listed very thoroughly with clearly explained rationales. This book is also a great tool for clinical though its size makes it somewhat cumbersome to carry around all day. I highly highly recommend it!

This is the best care planning book ever. It was recommended by one of my instructors and it has saved me some much unneeded additional stress. This book is easy to read, understand, and follow for any stage of a nursing program. Must have for sure!

This is a very good book for care plan help. Not alot of psychosocial but has an online resource that will help you too.

This book is a great quick reference for preclinical preparation. It covers the most common diseases and medical conditions. The nursing interventions, rationales, and expected outcomes were actuate and easy to understand.

This book has helped me tremendously through the long journey of nursing school. Every time I had one of those long 15 page care plans due, I would pick up this book and it would help me fill in all the blanks. It is broken down into cardiac care plans, pulmonary care plans, general health care plans, etc. There is a care plan for just about all patients; only requires you to personalize it. For my care plans required from my professors, one care plan requires 20 or more nursing diagnoses so this realllllyyy came in handy when I was running out of ideas. This book not only gives you a nursing diagnoses, but also related factors, risk factors, actions and interventions with the rationales, and goals. I would absolutely recommend this book to everyone! You will not regret it!

I was able to use this book at every care plan writing juncture for 3 different classes so far (Med-Surge I, Med Surg II, Therapeutic Use of Self, a little bit with Psych too). BUY IT FOLKS... trust me, you won't regret it. (Only reason I didnt give it all the stars is because I now feel that the book could be just a tad more detailed at times...but like I said, I still use it til this day)

This is one of the best books on nursing plans that I have worked with. It is clear and easy to use. I like that it has plans for specific individual diagnoses and is formatted in a way that you can use it as a starting point and helps you to individualize the plan for a specific patient.
