I need some help and recomendations for some books. I need a care plan book that will guide me in making care plans on my own for work. I work at a non profit organization and need to put together some care plans for the coaches to use for our clients. I am a new LVN and do not work under the supervision of any nurses ( I am it). My boss has authorized me $60 to spend on a good book that would help me. I also need one for a guide in documentation. I keep a nurses notes log of all incidents that happen on site and I am not sure if my wording is correct in describing things.

The book I used for Care Plans in school is

Nursing Diagnosis Handbook:An Evidence Based Guide to Planning Care

by Betty Ackely and Gail Ladwig

http://www.amazon.com/Nursing-Diagnosis-Handbook-Evidence-Based-Planning/dp/0323048269/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/104-0635682-9089537?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1188411215&sr=1-1

I've listed the Amazon page for this book above. It is great! (I have the earlier edition). In the front, it lists your Nursing Diagnoses; then they are each broken down with a definition, characteristics, suggested outcomes, interventions and rationales.

When we have to re-write care plans at the hospital, we use this book as well.
