Delmar's Maternal-Infant Nursing Care Plans

I am a nursing student and purchased this for my pediatric/OB semester to help out with care plans. It is worth the purchase for sure although I recommend flipping around in it before using the index because it's a little hard to find what you want. For example, if your client has Gestational Diabetes you can't just find that in the index, you have to look up "nutrition" or other key problems. Also, one care plan may be used for several different problems. The biggest issue I could find with the book is when you go to the page number you want referenced in the index, it will say "See Altered Nutrition" but you have to flip pages trying to find it since there is no clue where the full care plan is. I finally figured out how to use it at the end of the semester and then found out it is on statref! if you already have access to that. Bottom line is, it's the best and maybe even only option out there. It is worth the price since it saves time with your care planning.
