This book is an absolute must have for any nursing student or new grad RN. Its organization and plethora of information is unsurpassed by any care-planning source I've encountered thus far. It incorporates JACHO approved nursing diagnoses with standardized outcome criteria, interventions, and rationales. Sections are organized by systemic disorders and precede each medical-surgical condition or procedure with a brief pathophysiology, etiology, and guidelines for patient assessment (i.e. patient history, physical findings, diagnostic studies, and potential complications). Brief discharge planning checklists follow each medical-surgical condition or procedure. Care plans are general; yet allow individualization to your specific client's needs. Compared to other care planning texts, this is by far a more detailed, flexible means of developing goal-directed and action-oriented plans for the daily quality care of your patients.
