A Guide to Mental Health & Psychiatric Nursing, 6/E for BSc Nursing 5th & 6th Semester Students | ICD-11 Classification, Chapter-End MCQs, OSPE/OSCE Appendix & Latest Drug Guide: Semester V & VI: 1

A Guide to Mental Health & Psychiatric Nursing, 6th Edition Revised Reprint is a comprehensive textbook built to the Revised INC syllabus for BSc Nursing Semester V and VI, blending core psychiatry knowledge with psychiatric nursing practice in a single volume rather than splitting them across separate texts. Every major disorder chapter is organized around the current ICD-11 classification (with DSM-5 cross-referenced in the classification chapter), keeping diagnostic terminology and coding current for students and practicing nurses alike. The book is structured across 15 chapters that move from foundational concepts (evolution of mental health nursing, the multidisciplinary team, principles and ethics) through Mental Health Assessment, Therapeutic Communication and Nurse-Patient Relationship, and Therapeutic Modalities (psychopharmacology, ECT, rTMS, ketamine therapy, psychological, psychosocial and complementary/alternative therapies), into disorder-specific nursing management chapters covering schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders, mood disorders, neurotic/stress-related/somatization disorders, substance use disorders, personality and sexual disorders, and behavioral/emotional disorders of childhood and adolescence. Each disorder chapter follows a consistent, exam-ready structure: prevalence and etiology, ICD-11 diagnostic criteria, clinical features, treatment modalities, and nursing management presented as nursing-diagnosis, objective, intervention and rationale tables, supported by clinical boxes (e.g. Bleuler's four A's) and diagrams (e.g. positive, negative and cognitive symptoms of schizophrenia). The book closes with appendices of revised clinical documentation formats, an OSPE/OSCE objective practical/clinical examination section, and a latest psychiatric drug guide, plus complimentary online resources (Audio Pathshala digital learning guide, the Dr. Wise AI chatbot, viva voce questions and additional MCQs) unlocked via a scratch code inside genuine copies. Who This Book Is For: BSc Nursing Semester V and VI Students: covers the complete Revised INC syllabus for the Mental Health and Psychiatric Nursing course taught across these two semesters. BSc Nursing Students preparing for practical and term-end exams: the dedicated OSPE/OSCE appendix plus chapter-end question banks and MCQs mirror how BSc Nursing practical and theory exams are actually structured. Psychiatric/Mental Health Nursing Faculty: the nursing-intervention-with-rationale table format across every disorder chapter doubles as a ready teaching and clinical-posting reference, and the book is positioned as a life-long companion for both students and practicing professionals. Why This Book Helps: Follows the Revised INC syllabus chapter-for-chapter: structured to match exactly what Semester V and VI BSc Nursing students are taught, reducing the need to cross-reference multiple sources. Built on current ICD-11 classification: every disorder chapter uses the latest diagnostic classification system rather than an older framework, keeping clinical terminology exam- and practice-current. Turns nursing theory into ready care plans: nursing-diagnosis / objective / intervention / rationale tables (for example, for delusional behavior, violent behavior and self-care deficit) give a usable template for care planning during clinical postings. Reduces exam-day uncertainty: chapter-end MCQs and question banks plus a standalone OSPE/OSCE appendix directly rehearse the practical-exam format BSc Nursing students face. Extends revision beyond the printed page: complimentary Audio Pathshala, the Dr. Wise AI chatbot, and additional viva voce questions/MCQs (via the genuine-copy scratch code) support self-paced revision outside class hours. Key Features: 15 chapters spanning foundational mental health nursing concepts through disorder-specific nursing management, organized around ICD-11 classification with DSM-5 cross-reference. Chapter-end question banks and MCQs in every chapter for self-evaluation, term-end and competitive-exam preparation. Dedicated appendices: revised clinical documentation formats, an OSPE/OSCE objective practical-exam section, and a latest psychiatric drug guide. Nursing-intervention-with-rationale tables and clinical highlight boxes (e.g. Bleuler's four A's, positive/negative/cognitive symptom diagrams) built into every disorder chapter. Complimentary digital resources bundled with genuine copies: Audio Pathshala digital learning guide, Dr. Wise AI chatbot, viva voce questions and additional MCQs. Read more
