I purshased a book that has not ever been deliverd. When I contacted Woody's they said a replacement shippment would be sent, however it has not been deliverd either. When I asked for a refund they told me to return the item and I would get a refund. Again I have no item to return. I will never use this site again and strongly recomend you dont either. They will take your $ and send you nothing!!!

This book has been so helpful! I am a nursing student and this is very helpful on my case study assignments and also in writing care plans. Everyone always wants to use this book when we break up into groups. It gives a nursing diagnosis, goals & interventions. It also has standard nursing Dx that apply to medical Dx. It's pretty small (maybe 10" x 8") and fits easily in a tote bag when I go to my clinical sites. Overall great book!

Where are the rationales?

2008-06-10
I should have paid attention to the other reviewer. There are very few rationales in this book. If you are a student and need to provide a rationale for every diagnosis, then this book is NOT for you. I don't understand why the word "rationale" is even in the title. I think it's some kind of ploy to get someone to buy the book. The book is good for Nanda Diagnosis listings. It's nice and compact. But if you need individual rationales, you're better off getting a care plan book. The author even tells the reader to do that in the foreword. Too late for me, I bought the book already. I'm going to return it today.

Hello, I recommend this book to anyone going into nursing. It has helped me and many of my colleagues in writing our care plans/care maps. It really helps to get you started by giving you different ideas to work with such as objective and subjective data, actions/interventions, desired outcomes/evaluations. I can't really say enough about this book and don't know what I'd do without it.

Excellent for students!

This is very helpful for formulating Nursing Dx and Interventions. I especially like the bookmark in back that lists all NANDA approved Dx(s).

Love it

I abolutely love this book. It is great for doing care plans, i had one from 2002 and it got pretty beat up. So i upgraded and it was great. I've used this book for care plans from regular general to maternity to pediatric. It is worth the money, but rationales are a bit short and some doesn't have a rationale, but i still love this book.i

Great Book
