This book really helped me in preparing my care plans for class. Not only does it have care plan information, it also has guides for tests such as the Mini-Mental. It really helped me out.
This book is not just a care plan, it's like a review for a test. It states a lot of information about particular disorders,and thoroughly describes intervention that are appropriate and what not to do. I was surprised with the great deal of information, it presents with I didn't need this text for class, but I saw another review that mentioned that it was really helpful with the main text book by fortinash. So, I decided to get it and it was so educational! It's definitely a book to get!
There is definately some very good information in this book. I guess I was hoping for a quick reference type of layout somewhere in the book. I have to go to the index and look up which illness I want to research plans of care for. I wish they had listed the medical diagnoses and then the possible nursing diagnoses. This has great information though that is pertinent to the care plan for the patient with psychiatric diagnoses. I keep it on my desk at work and refer to it often!
This book was required for my nursing school - BSN program. I feel the selection of books my program chose were all very informative, to the point and we used the books for the classes that required them. During nursing school most people do not know where their career will take them, there are so many options the RN has available, so building a strong foundation is essential to success in the field. Nursing books are not written to be entertaining they are for educational purpose only. This book definitely offered education. After you graduate school and chose a path then find the best reference book you can find and carry it with you until the day you retire. I always recommend the additional study guide to a book if one is available.
The sample care plans were very helpful, and provided a wealth of information on interventions. The text would greatly benefit from the inclusion of page numbers on the back inside cover next to the nursing diagnoses. Some of the diagnoses did not have care plans anywhere in the book, and it was very difficult to figure out if that was the case.
This book has been THE biggest waste of money in my nursing school career yet. This book was required for my psych class and had I known any better I would have not purchased it and just used my Nursing Diagnosis Handbook, which contains adequate and ample psych diagnoses. I did not find this psych care plan book had any more information on psych diagnoses than my regular care plan book. Nursing school is expensive as it is, heed my warning and save your money!!!
This book was very well used throughout the course of my mental health rotation in school. I highly recommend this book for all nursing students who struggle with care plans. Even in you don't, there are some great ideas and creativity to relative nursing diagnoses.
There can be no perfect care plan book, however, I like this one the best. Specific to mental health, includes all levels of care. Useful, and user friendly. I have recommended this text to others.
