Best nurse-patient relations books according to redditors

I have used Ackley and Gulanick nursing care plan books. I love both. Someone linked the Ackley one already.

Here’s the Gulanick https://www.amazon.com/dp/0323428185/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_g55RBb80N8R50

Just starting nursing school in the fall, is this what you’re talking about?

Do you have/are you allowed to use a care plan book? If so, that's going to be your best friend throughout school. Diagnoses, interventions, and rationales :)

This is the one I have:

All-in-One Nursing Care Planning Resource: Medical-Surgical, Pediatric, Maternity, and Psychiatric-Mental Health, 4e (All in One Care Planning Resource)
https://www.amazon.com/dp/0323262864/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_3Bz5ybF94NFWG

My school had us buy the Swearingen All in One and it was beyond useless. I ended up getting a copy of the Ackley & Ladwig book, and it was really useful to me. I see not everyone agrees with that, but I guess everything is YMMV. What I like about A&L is that the front half of the book is a list of conditions with possible nursing dx (i.e. you might look up "cystic fibrosis" and find dxes of ineffective airway clearance, impaired gas exchange, etc.) and then the back of the book was just nursing diagnoses in alphabetical order, with indications, outcomes, and interventions. So if you had looked up CF in the front of the book and wanted to write a care plan about ineffective airway clearance, you'd flip to the ineffective airway clearance section in the back and just pick out however many interventions you need.
