Psychiatric Nursing Vol 3 Bipolar Disorders (VHS video casette)

This one-of-a-kind video series provides a comprehensive introduction to the nursing care of clients with psychiatric disorders. Each video begins with a narrated overview of the etiology and epidemiology of the disorder, common clinical profile, and general nursing care considerations. A clinical scenario follows, showing a client with the disorder interacting with a nurse and other members of the interdisciplinary health care team. The nursing care is presented in a nursing process framework, and therapeutic communication techniques and psychopharmacology are highlighted throughout. The clinical scenarios reflect a wide range of settings, including inpatient and various community settings, to accurately reflect the realities of managed care. Each video concludes with a brief discussion of the case by the narrator. Each videotape is accompanied by an 8-page Instructor's Resource Booklet that provides an overview of the program, pre- and post-viewing questions, and critical-thinking questions for class discussion.
