Infos

The leading text among RN psychiatric nursing students, FOUNDATIONS OF PSYCHIATRIC MENTAL HEALTH NURSING offers students a clear, straightforward way to understand the often intimidating subject of psychiatric nursing from a practical clinical perspective. A user-friendly writing style engages the reader in a learning process that both informs and enlightens. Clinical chapters are consistently, logically organized from theory to application. Specific psychobiological disorders continue to be organized from moderate to severe along the Mental Health Continuum. A strong, visible Nursing Process framework is used throughout. Updates to this edition include new chapters on palliative care and alternative/complementary therapies, new information on rehabilitation in the community, new Research Findings boxes and Assessment Guidelines boxes at the end of each assessment section.
