Summary

Empower Your Psychiatric Nursing Practice with Pharmacogenomics. Move beyond traditional trial-and-error medication management and discover how genetic insights can personalize patient care. This essential guide, written specifically for Psychiatric Mental Health Nurses (PMHNs) and Nurse Practitioners (PMHNPs), demystifies pharmacogenomic (PGx) testing for practical clinical application.
 
Understand the core principles of how genetics influence drug metabolism (CYP2D6, CYP2C19, etc.) and response. Learn to interpret PGx reports confidently, translating complex genotypes and phenotypes into actionable strategies for selecting and dosing antidepressants, antipsychotics, mood stabilizers, and more.
 
Packed with detailed case studies relevant to psychiatric nursing, this book bridges the gap between genetic science and bedside practice. Gain practical skills in:
 
Identifying patients who may benefit most from PGx testing.
 
Navigating the logistics of ordering and receiving results.
 
Communicating complex genetic information clearly to patients and families.
 
Applying PGx insights to manage side effects and optimize treatment outcomes.
 
Understanding the ethical considerations (GINA, informed consent, privacy).
 
Collaborating effectively with prescribers and the healthcare team.
 
Prepare yourself for the future of personalized medicine in mental health. This straightforward, educational resource provides the foundational knowledge and practical guidance needed to confidently integrate pharmacogenomics into your daily nursing practice, leading to more tailored and effective patient care. Start personalizing medication management today.

    Why Elephants Cry is a fascinating frolic through the literature and evidence surrounding the use of unusual behavior of animals to measure and predict the environment. The role of animals, from the smallest ant to the biggest elephant, as predictors of environmental changes is framed around the climate crisis, which highlights the increasingly important part that animals will have to play in the future. 
     
     
     
    Renowned biologist Professor John T. Hancock collects anecdotal stories and myths along with scientific evidence, demonstrating that observation of animals can be of tangible use. He looks at the measurement of the air temperature using ants, crickets, and snakes, and goes on to assess the evidence that the observation of a wide range of animals can predict the weather or the imminent eruption of volcanoes and earthquakes. Evidence of animals being able to predict lunar and solar events, such as lunar cycles and the Northern Lights, is also considered. 
     
     
     
    This is the only time that all this literature has been brought together in one place, a fascinating reference for anybody interested in animals and the environment. The book is also an ideal supplementary textbook for students studying animal behavior.
