Mental Health Exam Prep

My first exam is for Mental Health Nursing at 9am this Wednesday. It's going to be 100 multiple choice questions and worth 50% of the total grade for the subject, so basically I'm just reviewing everything they've thrown at us in the form of lectures and reading. This is what I've covered in the last few days:

Lectures:
The Nursing Considerations of a Patient with Mental Illness in the General Ward.
• Therapeutic Relationships
• Psychopharmacology
• Mental Status Examination
• Mini mental examination
• Mental Health Assessment
Reading:
Procedure for making a request and recommendation for involuntary treatment as an inpatient or in the community under the Mental Health Act.
• Mental Health Assessment and Care Planning`
• Applying the recovery model of intervention
• Recovering from Chronic Mental Illness Guidelines
• National Practice Standards for the Mental Health Workforce
• National Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander Health Survey Summary of Findings
• Cultural Considerations and Communication Techniques Guidelines for Providing Mental Health First Aid to an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander Person
• Anthropology in the Clinic: The Problem with Cultural Competency
