Primary Care Psychiatry
McCarron Xiong · 2nd Edition · ISBN 9781496349217 · Wolters Kluwer
Complete chapter-by-chapter study guide aligned with Primary Care Psychiatry (2nd Edition). Includes summaries, learning objectives, and NCLEX-style practice questions for all 26 chapters.
Overview
McCarron and Xiong's Primary Care Psychiatry (2nd Edition) is a clinical text that prepares primary care providers and advanced practice nurses to recognize and manage common psychiatric conditions in the primary care setting. This study guide is built to match it chapter for chapter, so you review in the same order your course teaches — from the primary care psychiatric interview and the collaborative care model through anxiety, OCD, trauma-related, mood, bipolar, and psychotic disorders, neurocognitive and substance use disorders, personality disorders, the core psychotherapies, psychopharmacology, and special populations including geriatric and child behavioral health. You get the priority diagnostic criteria, key treatment approaches, and the high-yield content that shows up most on exams and in case work, condensed so you can review efficiently. It is an independent, aligned study aid — not the textbook itself and not a reproduction of it — designed to help students focus on high-yield material and prepare for exams.
Aligned with primary care and psychiatric-mental health nursing courses, supporting course exams and reinforcing the diagnosis-and-treatment reasoning relevant to NP and PMHNP certification-style review.
