Product Description

Nursing Care Plans is the most comprehensive nursing care planning book on the market, with 189 care plans covering the most common nursing diagnoses and clinical problems in medical-surgical nursing. Written for both students and practicing nurses, it reflects the most current clinical practice and professional standards in nursing and is presented in an easy-to-use, reader-friendly format. Nursing Care Plans functions as "two books in one." The first "book" is a collection of nursing diagnosis care plans, found in Chapter 2, which provide the building blocks that enable users to create their own customizable care plans tailored to each patient's unique nursing diagnoses. The second "book," consisting of Chapters 3 through 14, is a library of disease/disorder-focused care plans that serve as models of care planning for the most common medical diagnoses, medical procedures, and psychosocial conditions seen in nursing practice.

useful book for nurses / nursing students
I bought this book to help me with an assignment for uni. This book was really useful as i was writing about patients with complex health needs and devising 3 separate care plans. The book gives a good rationale for each careplan. The only negative point i woiuld make is that it has no pictures and the text is green, there are no other colours so doesnt really stimulate you to read more than what you need to find out. Overall though a useful book which you can dip in and out of to find what you want quickly.
