I made a list of common test questions about the book, all chapters from the 6th edition. Also a second list with 55 of the most common core concepts of mental health from the DSM-5. Never hurts to know the basics. PS some questions have answers, some dont, to make you think :-)
Test bank book:
Mental Health in Nursing
Theory and Practice for Clinical Settings

Kim Foster, Peta Marks, Anthony O'Brien, John Hurley
ISBN: 9780729544689
107 questions with and without answers
+ 55 most important core concepts explained mental health
This is a basic test bank, nothing too difficult in my opinion. I made it for
our study group. One thing: some questions may seem double but on the
real test we got those too.
They seem to be alike but when you read them carefully, they are not. Got
me several times, therefore I put some questions with and without
answers to make you think.
I also made a list of 55 of the most important core concepts of mental
