Now with a second color to highlight a new, friendly design, the fourth edition of this practical reference presents 48 consistent, comprehensive care plans to assist students and practitioners in providing effective psychiatric nursing care in a variety of settings. It includes a logical organization, clear presentation, consistent use of the nursing process, and a correlation of nursing and medical diagnoses. Grounded in the latest classification of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Psychiatric Disorders, IV, Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR) and the most current list of NANDA-approved nursing diagnoses, it covers a wide range of disorders, their psychopathology, and appropriate nursing interventions. Chapters use real-life examples and situations, as well as therapeutic and nontherapeutic dialogue to enhance content.

4.0 out of 5 stars As A Nursing Student......., January 16, 2001

By	"scott_pj" (Battle Creek, MI USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Psychiatric Nursing Care Plans (Paperback)

This book really helped me in preparing my care plans for class. Not only does it have care plan information, it also has guides for tests such as the Mini-Mental. It really helped me out.

4.0 out of 5 stars Psych Care Plans, June 4, 2002

By	Melanie M Blunk (Smiths Grove, KY United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Psychiatric Nursing Care Plans (Paperback)

There is definately some very good information in this book. I guess I was hoping for a quick reference type of layout somewhere in the book. I have to go to the index and look up which illness I want to research plans of care for. I wish they had listed the medical diagnoses and then the possible nursing diagnoses. This has great information though that is pertinent to the care plan for the patient with psychiatric diagnoses. I keep it on my desk at work and refer to it often!
