This is a reader friendly text.

This second edition of Care Planning for Nurses written by three experienced nurse lecturers has been specifically designed and written with the developing nurse in mind, carefully guiding the developing practitioner along the important route holistically assessing and planning the care for the patients.

A well structured text book, student focused with stop and think activity boxes to aid directed study. A text that could be used as an aspect of blended learning and group work. - Richard Pitt, Department of Nursing & Midwifery, University of Nottingham

The authors of the book highlight to their readers the importance of care planning in everyday nursing and have managed to produce a book that is easy to read and follow and also gets the reader to relate to their own area of practice, to hopefully encourage learning and a change in their practice for the benefit of all patients that they care for. - Nursing Times
