Product Description
Unlike any other care plan book on the market, this resource contains selected care plans for pediatric, maternity, and psychiatric nursing in addition to medical-surgical nursing care plans for adult care. This is the only care planning resource that allows you to use one book throughout your nursing curriculum. Color-coded medical-surgical, maternity, pediatric, and psychiatric sections help you quickly find each content area while giving the book a full-color look and feel.
- Clinical experts update each subject area to ensure the most current, accurate, and clinically relevant content available.
- Each care plan employs a consistent format of Overview/Pathophysiology, Health Care Setting, Assessment, Diagnostic Tests, Nursing Diagnoses, Desired Outcomes, Interventions with Rationales, and Patient-Family Teaching and Discharge Planning.
- An open and attractive two-color design facilitates quick and easy retrieval of information.
- Nursing interventions and rationales are listed in a clear two-column format to make the information more accessible.
- Related NIC intervention and NOC outcome labels are listed for each nursing diagnosis.
- The Patient-Family Teaching and Discharge Planning section highlights key patient education topics and list resources for further information.
- Health Care Setting is specified for each care plan, since different conditions are treated in various settings such as hospital, primary care, long-term care facility, community, and home care.
- Outcome criteria with specific timelines enable nurses to set realistic goals for nursing outcomes and provide quality, cost-effective care.
- Detailed rationales for each nursing intervention help you to apply concepts to clinical practice.
- Includes the most recent NANDA Taxonomy II nursing diagnoses.
- Separate care plans on Pain and Palliative and End-of-Life Care focus on palliative care for patients with terminal illnesses, as well as relief of acute and chronic pain.
- A new "Overview/Pathophysiology" heading helps you easily locate this key content.
- Nursing diagnoses listed in order of importance/physiologic need helps you learn about prioritization.
- All content has been thoroughly updated to cover the latest clinical developments, including the most recent JNC7 hypertension guidelines, the latest breast cancer screening and treatment information, revised cholesterol parameters, new drug therapies, and much more.
- Patient teaching content and abbreviations have been thoroughly revised to reflect the latest JCAHO guidelines.
- Expanded and clarified rationales help you understand each intervention more clearly.

This book is great for nursing studens. It is a great tool to use when writing care plans. It gives you a guide line to go by and all the information you need to write your care plan. I recommend that all nursing students have one.

I bought this care plan book during my med/surg rotation and it is great because it is broken down by diagnosis. I was a little disappointed to find in the maternity section that there is no normal labor section. Other than that it is a great resource and has helped me a great deal in writing care plans for school.
Great for nursing students! April 8, 2009

This book is fantastic for nursing students. In one volume, you have a resource for med/surg, peds, L&D and psych care plans. This makes it an economical and well-rounded textbook choice. The text is well organized and accessible. Each of the four major sections highlights specific medical diagnoses, with information about the pathophysiology of the diagnosis. It details appropriate nursing diagnoses associated with each of the medical diagnoses and includes a wealth of patient education, interventions, important assessments and tests based on the latest evidence-based practice. It also includes measurable outcomes! The book is easy to use. The color coding is simple. The index is complete. And it includes NIC and NOC outcomes and uses NANDA terminology. This book helped me create successful care plans as well as allowing me to more easily carry theory into my clinical practice as a nursing student. I highly recommend it as a resource.
