Psychiatric Nursing features a reader-friendly approach to psychiatric nursing, focusing on the therapeutic skills expected of the psychiatric nurse. The psychotherapeutic management model, comprising three components - the therapeutic nurse-patient relationship, psychopharmacology, and milieu management - is the framework of the book, presented in a clear writing style with an understandable approach. 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 fourth edition features a new four-color design, featured patient education content, and expanded student worksheets with case studies and critical thinking questions, making the book a more effective learning tool. A separate unit on the continuum of care discusses care settings and case management. An entire unit on pharmacology includes drug side effects and nursing interventions. Each chapter begins with learning objectives to point students to important concepts within. Key terms are presented (where appropriate) in a boxed format for easy reference to facilitate the understanding of chapter content. Case studies help the reader conceptualize the development of effective nursing care strategies. Family Issues boxes are included in selected chapters to facilitate awareness of the issues families must confront when a member suffers from mental illness. Clinical examples drawn from the authors' own experiences are interspersed throughout the text to provide realistic illustrations of specific content. All boxes and tables with pharmacology content are highlighted for emphasis and accessibility. Nursing care plans highlight nursing care for selected disorders. Critical thinking questions throughout the text expand clinical reasoning skills. Key concepts are listed at the end of each chapter to recap important content.
