This book is great for nursing studens. It is a great tool to use when writing care plans. It gives you a guide line to go by and all the information you need to write your care plan. I recommend that all nursing students have one.

A great reference for any nursing student by Alanna (Michigan) 4 Stars
April 22, 2009
I bought this care plan book during my med/surg rotation and it is great because it is broken down by diagnosis. I was a little disappointed to find in the maternity section that there is no normal labor section. Other than that it is a great resource and has helped me a great deal in writing care plans for school.

Great for nursing students! by A. Powell (Monkton, MD) 5 Stars
April 08, 2009
This book is fantastic for nursing students. In one volume, you have a resource for med/surg, peds, L&D and psych care plans. This makes it an economical and well-rounded textbook choice. The text is well organized and accessible. Each of the four major sections highlights specific medical diagnoses, with information about the pathophysiology of the diagnosis. It details appropriate nursing diagnoses associated with each of the medical diagnoses and includes a wealth of patient education, interventions, important assessments and tests based on the latest evidence-based practice. It also includes measurable outcomes! The book is easy to use. The color coding is simple. The index is complete. And it includes NIC and NOC outcomes and uses NANDA terminology. This book helped me create successful care plans as well as allowing me to more easily carry theory into my clinical practice as a nursing student. I highly recommend it as a resource.
