Nursing Documentation: A Nursing Process Approach is an excellent resource book for nurses who are planning and implementing inservice activities and continuing education offerings on nursing documentation. Throughout the text and in the appendix, the authors have included several examples of documentation forms and tools, such as nursing assessment forms, patient teaching records, and flow sheets.

Here is a well-written and illustrated overview of nursing documentation. Nursing Documentation will be useful for nursing students and staff nurses. The text is particularly relevant for committees charged with streamlining nursing documentation to improve cost effectiveness and for staff development educators charged with developing inservice programs on documentation systems. The style is readable and interesting. Sample forms are applicable to a wide range of clinical situations and are, therefore, useful as references.
