Average Customer Ratings:

Here's the 7th Edition of the most complete, easy-to-use resource on how to develop practical, individual care plans! It's really 2 books in 1. The first half provides the diagnostic information needed to create a care plan; the second half covers the safe prescription and administration of psychotropic medications. And, the concepts can be applied to a variety of healthcare settings...from inpatient hospitalization and the outpatient clinic...to home health and private practice.This title features: an introduction to Concept Mapping in Chapter 1; Care Map Care Plans; 7 new Appendices including Comparison of Developmental Theories, Stages of Grief, Psychosocial Therapies and Electroconvulsive Therapy; and, latest NANDA nomenclature. It is organized by DSM-IV and NANDA Diagnoses. Nursing diagnoses and interventions include the definition, possible etiologies ("Related to..."), defining characteristics ("Evidenced by..."), objectives broken down to show long- and short-term goals, interventions with selected rationales, and desired patient outcomes/discharge criteria. Each drug classification lists background assessment data, predisposing factors, symptomatology, and nursing diagnoses and nursing interventions. Unit on psychotropic drug classifications covers anti-anxiety agents, antidepressants, antimanic agents, antipsychotics, antiparkinsonian drugs, sedative hypnotics, and central nervous system stimulants. It also features indications, route, and dosage for individual drugs, not just for classifications.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

A Must HAVE! -
This book was THEE only care plan book I used to help me through my Psych class and clinical rotation. My fellow students borrowed it every chance they got! I received 100% in all clinical projects (IPR, med-teach, client-teach, care plan, MSA's) due to this book. MUST HAVE for any psych rotation.

Wonderful Examples of Psychiatric Nursing Care Plans -
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!
