Prioritized interventions and rationales that I love. This is the BEST care planning book that… “This is the BEST care planning book that I have purchased…and I have purchased several. This one gives you a complete rundown of a condition – pathophysiology, classification, etiology, statistics, glossary of terms, related concerns, labs/diagnostic procedures, patient need categories with symptoms, priorities, goals, diagnoses, actions and interventions AND rationales for each…yes, each! This book will not have every disease/condition, but it has a lot. Wonderful tool when you are beginning to construct care plans. I wish I had it earlier. Highly recommend buying both of them together.”—C.M.
