Product Description
The Psychiatric-Mental Health Nursing Review and Resource Manual, 5th Edition, is the ANA Nursing Knowledge Center’s paperback study guide for registered nurses preparing for the ANCC Psychiatric-Mental Health Nursing board certification (PMH-BC) exam.
The manual is organized around the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) test content outline, so the chapters map to the domains you will be scored on. It reviews psychiatric assessment, the major disorder groups, psychopharmacology, therapeutic communication, legal and ethical practice, and the standards of psychiatric-mental health nursing practice, and it lays out a seven-step study plan with exam-day guidance. Author Kim Hutchinson writes from the nursing perspective rather than a medical one, which matters for how ANCC frames its questions.
What's included

- Paperback, new
- Publisher: American Nurses Association, Nursing Knowledge Center
- ISBN-13: 9781935213642
- Content review aligned to the ANCC PMH-BC exam outline
- Case studies, practice questions, and test-taking strategies
Who it's for
Registered nurses with the required psychiatric-mental health practice hours who are sitting for the ANCC PMH-BC credential, nurses renewing certification who want a structured review, and RN-to-BSN or graduate students in psychiatric nursing courses. Nurse educators also use it as a continuing education resource for unit staff.
Why this edition
The 5th Edition reflects the ANCC exam blueprint for the RN-level psychiatric-mental health certification and the DSM-5 era diagnostic language used on the test. Many candidates pair it with a question bank; the manual supplies the content review and practice framework that question banks alone do not.
Frequently asked questions
Is this manual for the PMH-BC (RN) exam or the PMHNP-BC exam?
It is written for the RN-level Psychiatric-Mental Health Nursing certification (PMH-BC). Nurse practitioner candidates for PMHNP-BC need a different review resource.
Does the manual include practice questions?
Yes. Each content area includes review questions and case-based examples, plus a chapter on test-taking strategy for the ANCC format.
How is the manual organized?
It follows the ANCC test content outline, so each chapter maps to a scored domain of the PMH-BC exam, and it opens with a seven-step study plan.
