Psychiatric Nursing: Contemporary Practice, Fifth Edition, Enhanced Update provides thorough coverage of psychiatric mental health nursing organized around the DSM-5 diagnostic criteria. With an emphasis on the recovery model, the book follows DSM-5 guidelines and has expanded content. The Fifth Edition, Enhanced Update addresses the changes in the DSM- 5 diagnostic criteria in a response to market needs. This Update includes core DSM-5 changes, select reference updates, and integration of icons to highlight related “patient experience videos” that are available on thePoint website. It also retains an emphasis on the recovery model, which focuses on a patient’s potential for recovery, involving the partnership between patient and health care provider as a journey of transformation, rather than as a set outcome. Features • NCLEX ® Notes help students focus on important application areas to prepare for the NCLEX ® . • Emergency Care Alerts highlight important situations in psychiatric nursing care that the nurse should recognize as emergencies. • Nursing Management of Selected Disorders sections provide an in-depth study of the more commonly occurring major psychiatric disorders. • Nursing Care Plans , based on case scenarios, present clinical examples of patients with a particular diagnosis and demonstrate plans of care that follow patients through various diagnostic stages and care delivery settings. • Interdisciplinary Treatment and Recovery Plans (ITPs) are linked with their respective nursing care plans in several chapters. ITPs are used extensively in practice. • Research for Best Practice boxes highlight today’s focus on evidence-based practice for best practice, presenting findings and implications of studies that are applicable to psychiatric nursing practice. • Drug Profile boxes present a thorough picture of commonly prescribed medications for patients with mental health problems. Examples include lorazepam (Ativan), an anxiolytic, and mirtazapine (Remeron), an antidepressant. The profiles complement the text discussions of biologic processes known to be associated with various mental health disorders. • Key Diagnostic Characteristics summaries describe diagnostic criteria, target symptoms, and associated findings for select disorders, adapted from the DSM-5 by the American Psychiatric Association. • Nursing Diagnosis Concept Maps help students learn to organize complex patient data into a meaningful nursing diagnosis and visually link key concepts of a disorder to in-practice examples.
