Clinical Simulations: Mental Health Nursing II

This CD-ROM presents interactive case studies on common affective disorders: dysthymic disorder; bipolar disorder in the acutely manic phase; major depressive disorder and the client who is acutely suicidal. The case studies guide users stepwise through a realistic clinical treatment event and demonstrate the comprehensive nursing process - etiology, current symptoms and DSM-IV-TR diagnostic criteria, assessment, care planning, interventions and evaluation of client progress. The multimedia program includes narration, audio clips, colour photographs, video clips, charts, interactive questions with answers and assessment guides - plus a scoring feature to evaluate the user's mastery of content.
