Nursing Diagnosis Manual: Planning, Individualizing, and Documenting Client Care

I have the 1st edition of this text and it is the best nursing book. Love it. The only drawback to this edition is the index card is not laminated. I own many care plan books and this book is beautiful. Not only great for nursing school, but I actually use it at work. I don't need a care plan book that gives me diagnosis for particular disorders like Carpenito-Moyet or lists it by category like Sparks and Taylor. This is alphabetical by diagnosis so its very easy to find what you need. The cover changed from the 1st edition, but thankfully the content is as insightful, helpful, knowledgeable and lovely as every. Thank you Mesdames Doenges, Moorhouse, and Murr.

This book is like a life saver! I realy love this, you can find almost everything you need for Nursing Diagnoses plus the rest pf the information you need to make a very good Nursing Care plan! This has more details than the NANDA book we are using in Nursing.

I ordered the book and expected it to arrive without any damage. The packaging was terrible, which caused the book look old. I was disappointed. Order from another party to have it nicely packed and delivered without any additional damage.The book by itself is used often and very well done. The authors knew what to do to make it interesting and well-organized:)

This was a required purchase for my nursing class but this will be great to start making care plans! Excited to crack this baby open because it will help with every step and make the pain of making care plans at least a little better with all the info I need being in one book

Necessary for nursing school, hate it, but use it often for care plans I hate those too. The good news is that when you figure out what nursing intervention fits your patient...this book writes the rest of the care plan for you (just cite your source and the pages used)

Very easy to use. The vast majority of them have rationales of why you are doing certain nursing interventions, goals, and there's an index in the back that have medical diagnoses with suggested nursing diagnoses below. I highly recommend this text.

As described

I had to buy this book and realized how awesome it was the next semester. The rationales are so clear and make you really think like a nurse.
