I have just graduated with a BSN from nursing school and thought this book was perfect for care plans. Unlike one diagnosis handbook I have seen (I can't remember the publisher), there is a directory at the front of the book that lists DISORDERS not diagnoses in alphabetical order and then possible diagnoses that may accompany it listed under each. You would think this is common sense but the other book I saw only listed the diagnoses in order, but in many cases, how can you pick a diagnosis if you don't know which one is appropriate for your patient yet!? After this directory, the diagnoses then of course, can be found in alphabetical order throughout the rest of the book. Possible "related to" and "as evidenced by" factors are also included with each diagnosis as well as sample goals, outcomes, and interventions. Real-life care plans are much more individual and often don't fit any one standard careplan but this is an excellent resource to get into the hang of how you should be thinking, especially for first semester nursing students and even after that to help you think of things you may not have considered. Most if not all the nursing interventions listed in the book are referenced, showing the relevance of evidence-based practice in the creation of it. This will be handy if you are also taking a nursing research class or other classes where they want you find evidence-based research for papers. Also, the back of the book has Maslow's Hierarchy and lists nursing diagnoses in alphabetical order per sub-category of the hierarchy. This was extremely handy and a time-saver because we had to include which level each diagnosis was addressing. Never second guess yourself about which specific category the psychosocial diagnosis you just picked for your patient is in!
