This is a wonderful book. It is compact in size but crammed full with information. I was looking for a portable nursing diagnoses reference and this book fulfills my needs. Additionally, the pull-out card in the backflap of the book is very useful. A reference tool any nursing student or seasoned nurse (myself) would be smart to obtain.
Comes in handy!

I found this book easy to use. (Maybe I'm too used to the books that have no organization.) It breaks down assessments into different focus assessments and the key subjective and objective information. The nursing diagnoses are listed in alphabetical order. Each diagnosis has interventions and rationales broken down into stages and priority. There's even a little section in the back that gives small info blurbs on related conditions and patient questions.
Concise, Compact and well organized !

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!
This book is GOLD!

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.
