You won’t ever use this outside nursing school (since medical software basically creates your care plan/diagnosis itself) but while you are in NS this will be a book you’ll always want to have within reach. Like 70% of nursing school is writing care plans and nursing diagnoses right? Well this gives you the evidence based reasons for your diagnosis (which is vastly different from a medical diagnosis of course lol). It has every kind of problem imaginable and then offers you the rationale for the “as evidenced by” portion of your diagnosis.
Highly recommend using and reading this. It just makes your life so much easier.

LOVE this particular care plan book. It lays everything out so well, with separate areas for diagnoses, indexes that are well laid-out, and rationales that are succinct yet thorough.. It also organizes the information in a rational manner, grouping diseases and/or symptoms so they make sense.

Seriously, I've gone through other care plan books, and THIS is the ONE edition I will never give up.

LOVE IT!!! This book basically writes your case studies and care plans for you. The information is incredibly comprehensive and clear. Every possible diagnosis, cause, intervention and rationale are laid out perfectly. You can't go wrong with this book.

I use this book quite often, especially the first part of it where all of the conditions are listed with potential diagnoses for each. Very helpful.

Helpful for care plans. Confusing to navigate at times. Evidence for some interventions feel irrelevant.
