Mental Health Nursing Practical Record Book for General Nursing and Midwifery (GNM) | Complete Clinical Logbook for Psychiatric Nursing Assignments, Care Plan, Case Study and Process Recording

Mental Health Nursing: Practical Record Book for General Nursing and Midwifery is a structured clinical logbook that guides GNM students through the complete psychiatric/mental health nursing clinical posting. Written in simple, comprehensible language and organized systematically as per curriculum requirement, it gives you ready-made formats to complete rather than leaving you to design your own documentation from scratch. The record book is organized into five parts covering the full clinical posting: general information (nursing process in psychiatric nursing, history-taking format, mental status examination format, and objectives of clinical experience); assessment in the Psychiatric OPD; assessment in the Child Guidance Clinic; a full set of assignments in the Inpatient Ward, spanning admission and discharge procedures, history taking and mental status examination, process recording, a nursing care plan for a patient with a psychiatric disorder, a case study, a case presentation, assisting the patient for electroconvulsive therapy, assisting the patient for psychotherapy, health education, and a drug book; and a final section for evaluation of clinical performance. Every assignment follows a structured, fill-in format with candidate and institution name fields on the cover, numbered and lettered subsections for each assessment (demographic data, chief complaints, history, personal history, current functioning, mental status examination, physical examination, treatment history), ruled writing space for your responses, and sign-off lines for both student and supervisor. Who This Book Is For: GNM Students: a dedicated clinical/practical record book for the Mental Health (Psychiatric) Nursing posting within the General Nursing and Midwifery course. Why This Book Helps: Organizes an entire clinical posting into one logbook: covers Psychiatric OPD, Child Guidance Clinic, and Inpatient Ward assignments in a single structured record, instead of loose notes across settings. Removes the guesswork from documentation: provides guidelines for writing admission and discharge notes, process recording, care plan, case study, and community case work, so you know exactly what each assignment requires. Structures history taking and assessment: ready-made History Taking and Mental Status Examination formats are provided across OPD, child guidance, and inpatient settings, so you can focus on the clinical content rather than the layout. Builds toward final clinical evaluation: a dedicated Evaluation of Clinical Performance section gives both student and supervisor a clear structure to assess posting performance. Covers procedural assignments most record books skip: dedicated assist-the-patient formats for both Electroconvulsive Therapy and Psychotherapy give you documentation practice for procedures you will encounter on the ward. Key Features: 20 structured assignments spanning Psychiatric OPD, Child Guidance Clinic, and Inpatient Ward postings. Dedicated Drug Book assignment for recording psychiatric medications encountered during the posting. Guided History Taking and Mental Status Examination formats provided separately for OPD, child psychiatric, and inpatient settings. Separate Nursing Care Plan, Case Study, Case Presentation, and Process Recording (I and II) assignment formats. Dedicated assist-the-patient documentation formats for Electroconvulsive Therapy and Psychotherapy. Read more
