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.
