This book's wealth of new learning features and dynamic full-color design combine to create an engaging knowledge-builder you'll turn to again and again. Skill-building features are your guideposts to success! Bio-psycho-social model provides a solid learning framework that is emphasized throughout the text. Self-awareness prompts in every chapter challenge you to examine your own beliefs and attitudes about caring for mentally ill clients. Multiple-choice, NCLEX[registered]-style questions for review and exam preparation include correct and incorrect answers with rationales. An array of knowledge enhancing features - from Internet resources to Key Terms, Key Concepts, and recurring icons that highlight each step of nursing diagnosis and management - ensure that you never miss a step. Critical thinking questions and learning activities put your problem-solving abilities to the test. New to the Seventh Edition: new chapter on forensic nursing helps you build the observational and investigative abilities key to this evolving area of nursing practice; new content on spirituality, added to the chapter on cultural and ethical issues, will help you build more effective therapeutic relationships with clients; updated psychopharmacological material includes critical information on the latest drugs, their treatment applications, and limitations-plus summary tables that highlight the major drugs used for each disorder; the latest diagnostic criteria reflect DSM-IV-TR standards; and, evidence-Based Practice Boxes throughout the text stress the value of research findings in guiding treatment choices. A Student Resource CD-ROM bound into each book includes clinical simulations for major depression and schizophrenia, psychotropic drug monographs, over 300 NCLEX(r)-style review questions, and movie viewing guides.
