This supplemental text of 54 updated nursing care plans addresses the most commonly encountered behaviors and behavior complexes in psychiatric and mental health nursing. The thoroughly updated Sixth Edition responds to current community-based care settings, across-the-lifespan care, cultural considerations, and violence in the community. Also, this edition presents a stronger focus on interdisciplinary care; community resources available to clients and their family/support groups; Web-based resources; communication content; and a sample assessment tool. DSM-IV-TR terminology/organization and NANDA diagnoses are used. and it includes a free disk with printable nursing care plans that students can customize!
This book was very helpful in writing our care plans when we did our psych rotation. The regular care plan books don't have much about the psych issues, so this was great.
Informative and practical resource

This is a text with a winning combination of psychiatric nursing fundamentals, supported by 54 psychiatric care plans that help you address the most commonly encountered behaviors and complexes in mental health nursing. It comes with a handy CD for cut and paste, DSM-IV-TR standard terminology and NANDA nursing diagnoses help you pinpoint a range of disorders using the latest diagnostic criteria. This text I believe is designed to enhance the effectiveness and improve the communication with both your clients and members of the care team. The book addresses the basic concepts, issues, and interventions that form the foundation for psychiatric practice.
