This is an easy to follow format for care plans. I have tried others but this is small in size also. It is divided into section. The first two chapters present brief discussions of the nursing process, data collection, and care plan construction. Chapter 3 contains the Diagnostic Divisions, Assessment Tool, sample of a care plan, and other supporting examples. Beginning with Chapter 4 the nursing diagnosis are listed alphabetically including its definition, risk factors, defining characteristics, desired outcomes that are broken down using priorities. After using this book, my class grade has been improving. I could not figure out how everything would fit together. It makes more sense now. Thanks and I hope it will work for you.
I bought this thinking I could use it for supplemental info to help with writing my care plans. My main problem is that the book does not have rationales for the nursing interventions. There is a small section in the front with rationales but not for every nursing dx. It is small though so if you just need something easy to carry just to find dx and interventions this will work for you.
This is a great book for nursing students, it's small size is perfect for bringing to clinicals, and the it has a nice laminated removable card that gives you a bunch of recommended nursing diagnosis for each body system. This book is a slimmed down verson of the ackley nanda book (if you have that), so id say this isn't a MUST for nursing students, but if you are someone who likes to get some of your work done while at clinicals or you don't want to lug your heavy books around, then i recommend this book. Don't be fooled by the size though, because there is A LOT of information in this little book. You could easily write your care plans from just this book. If you are looking for other nursing student books, read my other reviews, because if you are limited on cash, there are other books id recommend more than this one personally, and maybe get this one down the road.
This book is the book to have when you have to write those dreaded CARE PLANS! I literally relied on this book for everything that I needed to be able to write an A+ care plan. It is very well organized and easy to read. I would HIGHLY recommend this to anyone in the nursing program if it is not already a required text!!!!!
I am a junior nursing student and this book has cut my care planning time in 1/2!!!! it is very well organized and I used this book along with Mosby and have gotten an A+ on every nursing care plan!!! I also take this book with me to clinicals because it is so portable!
I'm using this book for nursing school now and I love it! Not alot of rationales(you can't expect to have everything done for you), but extremely helpful. Definitely a must have.
Although this book is just a bit too large to fit into my scrubs, it does come with a 'pocket card' to carry with you on your clinicals with handy tips for keeping things straight. This same author has also published another book 'Application of Nursing Process and Nursing Diagnoses' which complements this text. This book picks up where the other leaves off, and includes the rationales for particular nursing diagnoses. Very helpful when you are trying to sort out the appropriate diagnosis and interventions for a patient. This has helped me to write more exacting careplans and has helped in formulating various approaches to a problem so that I am able to understand the process of writing careplans that are accurate, timely and make sense! Thank you Marilynn Doenges!
I used this book my 2nd year of nursing school, and wish I would have discovered it sooner. This book had a listing of interventions, rationales, many of which I used on my concept maps in nursing school. This book could fit into my bag, so I could bring it with me to my post-conference during my clinic days, too, which was very helpful. I found that I used this book more than my required nursing diagnosis textbook for my program.
