I am so glad to have this highly informative and useful resource for my final semester in an RN program. I particularly like the listings of diagnostic tests, their definition and purpose. A very logical and readable reference.

I find it very convenient and a wealth of knowledge that could easily be carried in my lab jacket wherever I perform my rotation.

I just got this book I had the previous book as well and when Pam came out with this book I had to get to update the prior. This book is excellent!! First I have to tell you a difficult book to find in the book stores so if you have an opportunity to get than do so. The books is as you know med-surg based it has what the disease is, s/s that it presents s/s of what the pt may have, diagnostics with the steps on what a nurse would do, labs on what they would be with this pathology, collab mgt, nursing dx, and expected outcomes, pt teaching, everything in a small compact book. I carry this book with me on the floor, it has all the disorders that are so prevalent in the hospital and what to do as a nurse, pain management and also those with special needs. Nursing student you would be THANKFUL for having this tool, it especially when your med-surg book is so wordy and unclear, Nursing Dx right at your finger tips. This is an investment that you will have throughout school and right on the floor [adults unless a child present with this] ICU,CCU,Med-surg unit

I received a copy of this book as a hand-me-down from another nursing student, and found that it was THE book to have when writing nursing care plans. It lists out medical diagnoses, then has the corresponding labs, recommended nursing diagnoses and interventions. I don’t think I could’ve gotten through med-surg without it. I’ve looked through numerous other books on nursing care plans, but this book (and the corresponding version Mosby puts out for critical care nursing) is something I wouldn’t think about going to nursing school without. Definitely user friendly and helpful.
