This book has been helpful in completing care plans for my psychosocial clinical rotation. As any nursing student knows, care plans are long papers that must be completed in order to receive a grade, since psych is newer to me than med-surg it is helpful to have a book to aid in the completion of these care plans.

This was recommended to me by a classmate. It also was valuable when working on a focused care plan. I continue to go to it to emphasize what I had learned through readings and lectures.If psychatric nursing is not your forte, this will definetly help you out.

This book was very helpful…If you have the Mental Health book by Elizabeth Varcarolis 5th edition then this book is good to have. It helps with careplans and it has a lot of the psychiatric meds plus interventions. Example with Lithium; for Bipolar-you want to check serum lithium levels weekly/biweekly during therapy. It gives you interventions and nursing considerations for the drugs. So it does have a lot of information in it. Its small but it is a great book to have for Mental Health.
