Customer Reviews

VERY HELPFUL

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.
