Features • Self Awareness Prompts .

Case descriptions of clients exhibiting symptoms of disorders discussed in the text. • The Nursing Process Section or Nursing Plan of Care Box . Each clinical disorder chapter concludes with a The Nursing Process section, which walks through the application of the nursing process to clients exhibiting the disorder(s) discussed in the chapter, followed by a Nursing Plan of Care Box , demonstrating the application of this process to a specific case example. • Drug Summary Tables . Located in the clinical disorder chapters, these tables include generic or trade name, dosage range, adverse effects, and nursing interventions. • Recurring Boxes . Recurring boxes summarizing the major clinical symptoms and diagnostic characteristics associated with specific psychiatric mental health disorders incorporating the DSM-IV-TR criteria; highlighting examples of North American Nursing Diagnosis Association (NANDA) nursing diagnoses for specific disorders; providing examples of client outcomes for specific disorders; highlighting features such as Med Alerts, assessment or screening tools, subtypes of a specific disorder, and nursing interventions; and addressing supporting evidence for practice.
