This book is so worn already with the use that it gets, which just shows how essential it is. Everything that you need to know about the basics of care plans is in it

I have the 7th edition which was in our required book list for school. It is one of the only books I have used every semester, and I'm sure I'll use it in this last semester. I couldn't have done my evidence based papers or nursing care plans without it.

I purchased this book for Nursing school for the Fall. Based on the reviews from our instructors, they are very pleased with this book. I am excited to begin using this book in the fall. Amazon was a pleasure to work with. They shipped out much quicker than originally anticipated.
