 This book is GOLD! March 23, 2000

This has been a wonderful resource for writing my first care plans as a nursing student starting out in my clinical med/surg rotation. If you can only buy one book, buy this one. It's easy to use, specific, and all the diagnoses are arranged according to Gordon's functional health patterns. And there are really great "cheat sheets" in the front for SOAPIE notes and LOTS of short assessments (e.g. respiration, pain, elimination, etc.) It saves you from wanting to carry around your textbook in the hospital! Plus, it's just the right size and not heavy.
 Good as a guide December 19, 2005

but not to be used solely for writing care plans and here's the main reason why: there are very few rationales. Too few. In the care plans I was required to write, I had to have scientific rationales for each and every intervention. This book includes some rationales but not one for each intervention. I did use this book some but it will not be enough alone for those whose teacher, like mine, requires quoted rationales for each intervention of your care plan. Furthermore, the new NANDA approved Nursing Diagnoses for 2005-2006 aren't included which I was expected to know and start using when applicable this school year. So I had to go out and buy a new care plan book. I think this guide is intended, as the title suggests, for Nurses already working as a pocket guide, and not specifically for nursing students. It is a bit too tall and heavy to keep in your pocket working in the hospital but you could leave it at your station.
This book does have its merits. What I like most is that the diagnoses are alphabetized for quick reference, which is useful after client interviews to double check my potential ideas of a diagnosis before I'd go home to stay up into the wee hours of the night preparing my client's diagnoses and plans of care for next day's clinical. Also I found very helpful the laminated card in the back of the book of all the diagnoses and their catagories (which can be comfortably carried in my pocket btw) because my teacher only wanted for the first semester care plans, two physiological and one psychosocial diagnosis per client. One has to have a clear understanding of each type of diagnosis as the critical ones should be done and listed first. Remember your ABC's (A=airway, B=breathing C=circulation. )
Bottom line, this book is good but not as your primary nursing care plan guide book, in my opinion. Good luck to all future nurses!
Soar!

Practical pocket book with everything you need to help you write nursing care plans. Perhaps one day this resource will be available for my palm pilot!

I purchased this, and the size is nice, but there's nothing that's not in my school text book for care plans. I am returning it because I don't need 2 of the same thing. (I am a second year nursing student)

This is the pocket guide of choice for our nursing school, and it does not take long to find out why. It contains the NANDA nursing diagnoses, as well as medical diagnoses. Very nice layout; it'll take you step by step through the nursing process. One of our instructors told us it's not the best one that's out there, but I think that has more to do with personal preferences and needs.
