About ElizabethRadisson
I am a 2nd year nursing student and this book is well organized and covers a multitude of diagnosises that others do not.
If you need it broken down by Nursing diagnosis and their definitions to qualify a client for that diagnosis,this information is in the beginning of the book.
This is a must book for nursing clinicals.

Much better than Carpenito
I am in an accelerated BSN program and designing care plans for pts can take hours. This book makes it a cinch; flip to a system and the list of NANDA/NOC/NIC is endless,…
This book saved me in nursing school! Every semester my teachers kept a copy of my nursing plans to show future students. My friends struggled with care plans, but this book made it easy for me. Highly recommended!
