Nursing Lifeline

I use this book everytime I create a care plan for nursing school. It has nearly every medical diagnosis you could have to develop goals, interventions, rationales, etc. It is mainly for adult med surg units, but can offer some assistant in children and adolescents.

A great book for the med-surg nurse or nursing student

Perfect for a student
