 This book should win an award!!LOL! February 10, 2003
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
This book REALLY should receive some recognition---for being probably the WORST nursing diagnosis book I have ever seen!As stated above,this book is REQUIRED by Excelsior College for the CPNE exam----much to the bewilderment and anguish of the Excelsior students who have to work with it.Is it possible that Excelsior is completely unaware that there are MANY better books of this kind out there?I think it would be virtually impossible to find one that was more confusing,less helpful and less user friendly.It seems like a cruel joke that this book is imposed on Excelsior students when superior books which would better meet students needs are available.Ms. Carpenito should do everyone a favor and stop writing these books---many students(myself included) would be eternally grateful!!!
Confusing mish mash of stupid stuff November 13, 2002

If Excelsior College didn't require this for the CPNE, I would take it and throw it off the highest bridge I could find. Horribly confusing, doesn't make sense, and I cannot fathom how this would help your clinical practice. The only redeeming feature is that Excelsior does not let you write in this, so I will have a brand new copy of this for sale to some poor nursing student. I don't mean to sound harsh, but this book isn't easy to use, it is confusing, and contradicts itself.
Terribly laid out and unorganized December 2, 2001

I only gave this book one star because there isn't a ZERO star rating. This book is horribly unorganized. If there is a pattern to how different pathologies are listed in this book, I sure as heck didn't figure it out. This book's "pocket size" infers that it is to be used as a handy reference, the extra time it takes to actually FIND anything in this book is not worth the effort of lugging it around. Everyone I know who is familiar with this book has agreed with me that this book is horribly "not user friendly". I only got it because my nursing school allowed ONLY this book to be used during clinicals. SHOP AROUND! Find something better.
 Buy the Application to Clinical Practice Instead April 14, 1999
curtchow@tco.net (Cottonwood, Ca)
While this is a great REFERENCE book, I would advise all nursing student or even practicing RN's to use Carpenito's complete book titled: Nursing Diagnosis: Application to Clinical Practice. This non-handbook version is much more comprehensive by displaying usages for each diagnosis and common errors in diagnosing. The handbook is convient but too brief on nursing diagnosis usage. Spend the extra $10 and get Carpenito's complete book. It will save you a lot of time writing those care plans:-(. The 8th ed. should be published by 10/99.
