Intended for nursing students and for practising psychiatric nurses, this book is a concise and practical reference to the concepts and principles essential to providing quality nursing care to clients with behavioural or mental health problems.
"Nursing Diagnoses and Process in Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing" offers student and practicing nurses a convenient reference to the basic concepts and specific nursing actions related to the care of the psychiatric client. In an outline format, it progresses from brief descriptions of the major schools of psychiatric thought, conceptual frameworks for psychiatric nursing practice, and the nursing process, to detailed information about specific psychiatric nursing diagnoses and interventions,as well as major psychiatric disorders and their treatment (particularly drug therapy). The chapters on nursing diagnoses and interventions are particularly important because they provide the nurse with critical information that makes the implementation of nursing diagnoses in the psychiatric setting much easier, and consequently allows for better care plan construction and the provision of quality psychiatric nursing care.
Other important features include - principles of and strategies for developing a therapeutic nurse-patient relationship; detailed questionaire for the initial psychiatric assessment of an adult; details of the mental health status examination; a discussion of the DSM-III-R and major psychiatric disorders discussed with appropriate treamtents.
