Focusing on the therapeutic skills expected of the psychiatric nurse, this text aims to give an understanding of psychopathologic processes. The book uses the model of psychotherapeutic management, comprised of the therapeutic nurse-patient perspective, psychopharmacology and milieu management.
PSYCHIATRIC NURSING has consistently been one of the most thorough texts for the ADN/BSN market, focusing on the therapeutic skills expected of the psychiatric nurse. In order to give the student a better understanding of psychopathologic processes, the book uses the simple and unique model of psychotherapeutic management, which is comprised of three components: the therapeutic nurse-patient relationship, psychopharmacology, and milieu management. The psychotherapeutic management model takes a practical, clinical approach to nursing by integrating clinical realities with the theory taught in nursing schools, emphasizing those duties for which nurses are primarily responsible. The third edition features a soft-cover and reader-friendly approach, with new student worksheets and drug cards at the end of the text to encourage more interactivity, making the book a more effective learning tool. Features: * Begins each chapter with learning objectives to point students to important concepts within. * Includes family issues boxes in selected chapters to facilitate the student's awareness of the issues families must confront when a member suffers from mental illness.
* Intersperses clinical examples, concise vignettes drawn from the authors' own experience, throughout the text to provide realistic illustrations of specific content. * Uses case studies, detailed depictions of psychiatric disorders, in selected chapters to help the student conceptualize the development of effective nursing care strategies. * Provides drug side effects and nursing interventions in the section on psychopharmacology. * Highlights all boxes and tables containing pharmacology content for emphasis and accessibility. * Presents key terms unique to particular chapters in a boxed format for easy reference, thus facilitating the understanding of chapter content. * Lists key concepts at the end of each chapter to recap important content. New to this edition: * A new unit (Unit 2) on the continuum of care has been added, including four new chapters on: * Continuum of care * Hospital-based care * Community-based care * Case management * In Unit 3, two new chapters have been added, expanding upon information found in various places in the second edition: Chapter 12, "The Nursing Process," and Chapter 13, "Crisis Intervention, Stress, and Coping."
* Patient and Family Teaching boxes highlight the information that the nurse needs to provide to the patient and her/his family (found in select chapters). * Perforated drug cards are included in the front of the book to give students a quick and handy study reference. * The development and use of clinical pathways are included in the new case management chapter. * Historical Perspectives features are pulled from the narrative in each disorder chapter to separate "nice-to-know" information from "need-to-know" information. * Critical Thinking Questions are interspersed throughout the narrative, facilitating retention of information as students read. * Perforated student worksheets with an answer key are included at the end of the book, enabling comprehension for students while encouraging them to tear them out upon completion. * New soft-cover binding to make the text more appealing to cost-conscious students and instructors.
