Written by one author, Essentials of Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing is straightforward, consistent and user friendly. It offers an evidence-based, holistic approach to psychiatric nursing, and answers the questions "What do psychiatric nurses do?" in a language that can be understood by all. The enclosed free student CD-ROM includes an electronic test bank with more than 200 NCLEX-style questions, including the new formats. Also on the CD are hundreds of learning activities, case studies with critical thinking questions, nearly 60 psychotropic drug monographs, assessment tools, care plans and critical pathways that the student can customize, and printable client education teaching guides.
