This is a core textbook for the LPN and ADN psychiatric-mental health
course. This textbook presents succinct, yet comprehensive coverage of
topics for the short or integrated psychiatric-mental health course. The
Eighth Edition has been updated for currency and retains key features
that have been well-received in previous editions, specifically self-
awareness prompts, clinical examples, and recurring boxes.
Features
•
Self Awareness Prompts
. Critical thinking prompts that encourage
students to consider how issues from their own personal biases or
experiences could affect their practice, or areas in which they may
struggle to understand certain aspects of psychiatric-mental health
nursing practice, and to explore and discuss ways to address these
issues.
•
Clinical Examples
. 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
