This review is from: Pediatric Nursing Care Plans for the Hospitalized Child (3rd Edition) (Spiral-bound)

I would have to say this is the best pediatric care plan book on the market now. I skimmed through this one and Delmar's at the bookstore and this one had everything in it I needed. It gave the disorder then multiple care plans for each disorder. It even has Nursing dx and related to, assessment data, expected outcomes, possible nursing interventions, rationale, evaluation for charting. This book is awesome! I got every single care plan for my peds class out of here. This is a must have for your peds class. We did 3 care plans a week for 11 weeks. It was the best investment.

I was very excited to get this book because it said the pathophys was included and of course all the appropriate Nursing Dx & interventions. After researching a few medical Dx, i didn't think the N.Dx were always the best pick. I just expected a better more informative book.
