Delmar's Maternal-Infant Nursing Care Plans Review

Delmar's Maternal-Infant Nursing Care Plans
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
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.

OB Peds Women's Health Notes: Nurse's Clinical Pocket Guide (Nurse's Clinical Pocket Guides) Review

During my OB/Peds rotation for nursing school I was pleasantly surprised at how helpful this little pocket book was. I found myself looking up interventions that were really useful. I liked that it had all the more common complications and diseases of childhood and pregnancy. I would recommend this book for anyone that needs a quick reference to help with questioning instructors.

Neonatology : Management, Procedures, On-Call Problems, Diseases, Drugs (LANGE Clinical Science) Review

Neonatology : Management, Procedures, On-Call Problems, Diseases, Drugs (LANGE Clinical Science)
Average Reviews:

This book, particularly the new 5th edition (released in August, 2003) is a must-have for on-call nights in the NICU. Although not as complete in terms of information as a full textbook, this book contains a blurb on nearly every topic one might encounter in the NICU. It is also surprisingly up to date for a textbook, containing the latest standards of care on controversial topics such as PPHN, use of ECMO and BPD, plus lots of other conditions.
This is no longer a spiral-bound book, which has positives and negatives. On the positive side, it's probably more durable long-term - no more ripping of pages and holes out of the spiral. On the negative side, it's harder to keep your page open without bending the spine out of shape.
This is by far the best on-call reference manual for neonatology. It's highly recommended by everyone I speak with, from staff to fellows to residents. I would recommend it as well!
