If you are confused about how exactly NIC and NOC work and fit into care plans, this book will be a great asset for you. It reallly helped me understand and begin forming care plans. It is a little bit different layout than other books of this type, but it is very helpful.

This review is from: Nursing Diagnosis Manual: Planning, Individualizing, and Documenting Client Care (Paperback)

This is an amazing book for doing care plans. Think of your patient and what characteristics they have. Then apply the nursing diagnosis. If they use a walker, have unsteady gait, think of a fall risk. This book will help you identify patient characteristics and apply it in a logical way to your care plans. Very beneficial to nursing students. Also referenced for specific disorders. What nursing diagonsis are applied to patients with diagnosis of pneumonia or edema. The will be the best care plan book on your shelf.

In our program they use Carpinito mostly but allow other sources as you prefer, I found myself using this book for every single care plan, its easy to look up NANDAs by diagnosis which is super handy and reliable----this book was a God-send for me and my care planning! I always exceeded the required grade on my care plans using this book.
