4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Examples of Psychiatric Nursing Care Plans, May 10, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Nursing Diagnoses in Psychiatric Nursing: Care Plans and Psychotropic Medications (Paperback)

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!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must HAVE!, October 28, 2008

misspriss (Ohio) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Nursing Diagnoses in Psychiatric Nursing: Care Plans and Psychotropic Medications (Townsend, Nursing Diagnoses in Psychiatric Nursing) (Paperback)

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.

This review is from: Nursing Diagnoses in Psychiatric Nursing: Care Plans and Psychotropic Medications (Townsend, Nursing Diagnoses in Psychiatric Nursing) (Paperback)

Great resource for development of clinical objectives, when writing treatment plans, or any documenting in the clinical field. My favorite assessment tool.
