I am a current nursing student, and i kept this book with me throughout my psychiatric clinical rotation. This book gave me all the nursing diagnoses related to a specific psychiatric problem and the nursing interventions that would be appropriate. This is a must-have for anyone in psychiatric nursing!
Outstanding book. I use nursing practice based books all the time, and I purchase them, often. This book went above and beyond! Not only did the author have spot on background assessments, she organizaed contributing factors, risks, self care concerns, Communication, Nutrition, Body Image, Objectives/Goals- long term and short term, Interventions with Selected Rationales, Outcome Criteria, but also "Clinical pearls (of Wisdom) and web sites for more information, as well as *Movie Connections*...... For example, if you wanted to get an idea of what Schizophrenia is like, but youtube isn't cutting it, she has a list of movies you could watch (or read about on Wiki)listing: I Never Promised You A Rose Garden, A Beautiful Mind, The Fisher King, Benny and Joon, Out of Darkness, Conspiracy Theory, and The Fan (delusional disorder).Or, maybe you want to know some relevent movies regarding Eating Disorders. She lists 4 different movies/documentaries.So, in a nutshell- this lady went above and beyond! I work as a Nurse in a Psychiatric hospital. I wish MORE PEOPLE would learn about mental illness and use resources like NAMI,... this author did a FANTASTIC JOB and I hope more nursing students will use this information to support and advocate for those with mental illness. Thanks!
This book was purchased for some undergraduate nursing instructors who needed to have this textbook in a psych. nursing course. It features nursing diagnoses within the specialty of psych. nursing. It is pocket sized so easy to carry and consult when working in clinical settings.
Interesting and informative psyche rotation was interesting and the information in the book helps one to understand what it is that causes the problems and the positive and not so positive side of the meds
This book was the about the only reference I needed for my psych care plans and the two other people that have borrowed it since regretted not having it to begin with. Amazing! It has diagnoses, goals, interventions, outcomes, and a quick look drug guide. One of the best purchases I've made for nursing school.
this book is excellent for helping with careplans. it has your diagnoses, related to , and manifestations all listed. it gives backround, nursing interventions, and outcomes. well worth every penny!!!
I needed this book for a class I was taking in nursing school. this book was a little different than those my classmates had ordered, it was the larger version instead of the pocket sized version that our instructors recommended getting. I like this better than the pocket version. It was a lot bigger but I found it a lot easier to read and find nursing diagnosis than my classmates. and there were a lot more diagnosis in it with different examples that helped me me with making nursing care plans .
I'm glad to have it vs. nothing since we can't use electronic resources at psych clinicals. But it's confusing and not organized well. The index is just flat out wrong about 30% of the time which is frustrating. And the overall organization isn't logical so it always takes a lot of time flipping through pages to find the information you need.--Bruce Kinley
