1) must have [Rating: 5 out of 5]
every nursing student needs a nursing dx book/care plan book. this book is definitely a great option. it includes med/surg, peds, psych, ob,..... nursing dx and care plans. my senior suggests this book to me last year. i think it is awesome and i will recommend to any nursing student out there.Set2) Great book! [Rating: 5 out of 5]
My nursing instructors attempted to teach me and my fellow nursing students how to make a care plan first semester, but didn't really do a very good job of it, leaving me clueless. Second semester I got a little smarter and decided to look for a good book that will help in developing a nursing diagnosis, as well as everything else (goals, interventions, etc.), I got this book because I really needed something to help me out. Boy did it help! I went from getting 75s on my care plans to 90 and beyond. It doesn't just give lists of possible nrsg. diagnosises, goals and interventions for each condition, it also shows you how to put it all together (something I needed really bad). Great book!3) The only care plan book you'll need! [Rating: 5 out of 5]
After receiving a recent email asking me which care plan book I'd recommend to a nursing student who was staying up very late working on her care plans, I told her I'd write a review of the book that was my best friend on the night before clinicals. This is it. I had two care plan books that were not working for me so I spent about 8 hours one weekend in Barnes and Nobles looking through every single book that had on the subject. When I got to this one, I didn't need to look any further. The diagnoses are in alphabetical order, with: ~the definition of the condition, ~defining characteristics both subjective and objective (to jar your memory of your interview of the patient pre-clinical), ~and a big one, Related To Factors (r/t) [which can be a struggle fine tuning as a nursing student];~Client Outcomes [Client Will (Specify Time Frame)--answer is--"Ct. will____________(something that is obtainable and measurable) during my shift", ~Nursing Interventions and Rationales (in italics.) On my Client Care Plans forms, rationales were called "Scientific Principle (Documentaton Source)" and my instructor wanted the page number as well. ***Please note: I've noticed that there is an 8th Edition available now for purchase. I don't see how they could improve on this text; however, I would probably recommend the newest edition. If you already have the 7th Edition, I would say you probably don't need to buy the 8th edition. It's your call.Good luck future nurses and Soar!4) Very Helpful [Rating: 5 out of 5]
This book has been a lifesaver while in nursing school! It is one of the best books for my careplans - I definitely recommend it!5) Great reference book [Rating: 5 out of 5]
This book is a great resource in assiting in making accruate and easy nursing diagnosis, predicting client outcomes, and indicating nursing intervations and rationale. A perfect practice prior to entering clinical rotations.
