Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing
Videbeck · 9th Edition · ISBN 9781975184773 · Wolters Kluwer
Complete chapter-by-chapter study guide aligned with Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing (9th Edition). Includes summaries, learning objectives, and NCLEX-style practice questions for all 24 chapters.
Overview
Psychiatric-Mental Health Nursing (9th Edition) by Sheila Videbeck is one of the most widely assigned psych nursing texts, and it pairs neurobiologic and psychosocial theory with practical, disorder-by-disorder care. This study guide is built to follow it chapter by chapter, so you review in the same order your professor teaches — from the foundations of psych-mental health nursing, neurobiologic theories and psychopharmacology, and therapeutic relationships and communication, through legal and ethical issues, grief, anger and aggression, and abuse and violence, and then through the major disorders including trauma- and stressor-related, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive, schizophrenia, mood disorders and suicide, personality disorders, addiction, eating disorders, somatic symptom illnesses, and neurodevelopmental and cognitive disorders. It pulls out the priority assessments, therapeutic interventions, medications, and safety concerns you need for exams. It is an independent, aligned study companion — not the textbook itself and not a copy of its content.
Aligned with undergraduate psychiatric-mental health nursing courses and written in an NCLEX-RN style, with safety priorities and rationales that mirror how mental health is tested on course exams and the NCLEX.
