What's inside
Psychiatric-Mental Health Nursing, 8th Edition (2019) by Sheila L. Videbeck — published by Wolters Kluwer Health — provides a practical focus on the skills and concepts essential to your success as a psychiatric-mental health nurse. With its accessible, clear, and student-friendly approach, this widely adopted text clarifies challenging concepts and helps build the foundation needed to work successfully with clients experiencing mental health challenges across every care setting.
The eighth edition explores the full spectrum of psychiatric nursing — helping students master specific nursing interventions, hone therapeutic communication skills, and learn to apply content effectively within the framework of the nursing process. Each chapter integrates evidence-based practice, current DSM-5 diagnostic criteria, and contemporary care delivery models.
New to this edition: Unfolding Patient Stories written by the National League for Nursing put the nursing process in a realistic context to prepare students for successful client interactions and interventions; Clinical Vignettes familiarize readers with the features of major disorders likely encountered in practice; Therapeutic Dialogues help perfect communication skills with specific examples of nurse-client interactions; updated psychopharmacology coverage; and integrated NCLEX-style review questions.
Topics covered: foundations of psychiatric-mental health nursing; therapeutic relationships and therapeutic communication; assessment and the nursing process in psychiatric care; legal, ethical, and cultural considerations; neurobiology and pharmacology of mental disorders; anxiety, trauma- and stressor-related, and obsessive-compulsive disorders; depressive and bipolar disorders; schizophrenia spectrum and other psychotic disorders; personality disorders; substance use and addictive disorders; eating disorders; sleep-wake disorders; somatic symptom and dissociative disorders; cognitive and neurocognitive disorders; child and adolescent mental health; older adult mental health; suicide and self-harm; aggression and violence; crisis intervention; community-based and integrative mental health care.
Essential for: BSN and ADN psychiatric-mental health nursing courses; LPN/LVN programs; NCLEX-RN preparation; practicing registered nurses transitioning into psychiatric-mental health practice; psychiatric nursing certification (PMH-BC) preparation; and nurse educators teaching mental health content.
