Essentials of Mental Health Nursing, 2/E for BSc and PB BSc Nursing Students | Psychiatric Nursing with ICD-11 and DSM-V Classification | Practice Questions and Answers

Essentials of Mental Health Nursing, 2nd Edition is a comprehensive psychiatric and mental health nursing textbook built on the revised Nursing syllabus. Spanning 15 chapters, it moves from the foundations of mental health nursing and mental status assessment through therapeutic communication, treatment modalities, and the nursing management of every major category of psychiatric disorder, closing with legal issues and community mental health nursing. This edition is updated with the latest ICD-11 diagnostic classification and DSM-V criteria, giving students a current framework for understanding and classifying psychiatric disorders. Each chapter opens with a chapter-outline box and closes with a set of practice questions and an answers key, turning the book into both a classroom text and a self-check revision tool. Numbered tables and labeled figures (such as the Johari Window model and the communication-process diagram) break down complex psychiatric concepts into an easy-to-follow visual format, and real-life case scenarios connect theory to clinical practice. Who This Book Is For: BSc Nursing Students: covers the full Mental Health/Psychiatric Nursing course as per the revised INC syllabus, from foundational concepts to nursing management of specific disorders. Post Basic BSc Nursing Students: a single consolidated text for the psychiatric nursing component of the PB BSc Nursing curriculum. Nursing Tutors and Educators: a structured, chapter-outline based teaching reference with ready-made practice questions and answer keys for classroom assessment. Why This Book Helps: Simplifies the latest classification systems: presents ICD-11 diagnostic criteria and DSM-V classification for every major disorder category in one place, keeping students current with the psychiatric nursing curriculum even after their course ends. Builds real assessment skills: dedicated coverage of psychiatric history taking, mental status examination, and mini-mental status examination equips students to conduct a full psychiatric nursing assessment. Clarifies the nurse-patient relationship: a full chapter on therapeutic communication, the Johari Window, and therapeutic impasses (resistance, transference, counter-transference, boundary violations) demystifies the interpersonal core of psychiatric nursing. Prepares nurses for practice, not just exams: covers the Mental Health Care Act 2017, POCSO Act 2012, and other statutory frameworks nurses must know, alongside crisis intervention and psychiatric emergencies. Reinforces learning chapter by chapter: end-of-chapter practice questions with an answers key let students self-test immediately after each topic instead of waiting until exam time.
