5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent resource for the nurse or nursing student, February 22, 2002
This review is from: Pocket Guide to Medical-Surgical Nursing (Paperback)
This is an excellent book for nursing students or practicing med-surg nurses. It has tons of diagnoses with care plans spelled out and is organized in chapters as follows: (1) Respiratory Disorders, (2) Cardiovascular Disorders, (3) Renal-Urinary Disorders, (4) Neurologi Disorders, (5) Endocrine Disorders, (6) Gastrointestinal Disorders, (7) Hematologic Disorders, (8) Musculoskeletal Disorders, (9) Reproductive Disorders, (10) Sensory Disorders, (11) Providing care for patients with Special needs, and has 3 Appendix as follows: (1) Caring for the preoperative and postoperative patient, (2) Caring for patients on prolonged bedrest, (3) Caring for patients with Cancer and other life-disrupting illnesses.
This book will help nursing students to write their care plans and manage their clinical patients. It will help nurses who are already practicing to manage their med-surg patients. I used this book through nursing school to write tons of care plans -- it was invaluable. What a GREAT book!
