Nurse’s Pocket Guide: Diagnoses, Prioritized Interventions, and Rationales

The perfect pocket guide makes care planning easier.
This quick-reference tool has exactly what you need to select the appropriate diagnoses to plan your patients’ care effectively. The 16th Edition features all the latest nursing diagnoses and updated interventions from NANDA-I 2021-2023.

One of the best nursing school tools that I can use beyond graduation! “I only wish I found this book at the beginning of my nursing school experience and not towards the end. Finally a useful book that tells us what to do, what we can do, and prioritizes everything. I think it wouldn’t have taken me 6 hours to complete a Care Plan/Map had I found this gem sooner. I’m even going to recommend it to my school to suggest students purchase it.”—Angela D., Online Reviewer

Love this Book!“I’m a nursing student, and for all y’all nursing professions, you need to have some form of this book. In semesters past, a friend of mine had a later edition, and the information was incredible. This book is really a must-have when making care plans or wanting to learn more about what interventions you can do for your patient. Reasonable for price.”—Felicia M., Online Reviewer
