An outstanding resource for students and practicing nurses, the Ninth
Edition of
Lippincott’s Manual of Psychiatric Nursing Care Plans
contains fifty-two nursing care plans that address the most commonly
encountered behaviors in psychiatric–mental health nursing. An
excellent tool to introduce students to clinical psychiatric experience,
the Manual demonstrates use of the nursing process in psychiatric
nursing and gives suggestions for specific interventions — with
rationale — to address particular behaviors, giving the student a sound
basis on which to build clinical skills. Covering a range of problems
and a variety of approaches, the care plans are meant to be adapted
and individualized in planning nursing care for each client. The Ninth
Edition has been thoroughly updated and includes new information
on complementary and alternative medicine and using the internet;
as well as new or expanded appendices on psychopharmacology; side
effects of medications and related nursing interventions; and schizoid,
histrionic, narcissistic, and avoidant personality disorders.
