Infos

A comprehensive guide to the roles and functions of the nursing generalist involved in mental health care and promotion for individuals and families and health restoration care for clients with psychiatric conditions. Using the steps of the nursing process as a framework it prepares those entering the profession for handling clients in all stages of life and in various practice settings, including the paediatric outpatient clinic, the general hospital, the psychiatric unit, the home and the community. Its primary focus is on the application of psychiatric-mental health principles and knowledge in practice settings outside traditional psychiatric units. Chapters are organized to differentiate normal developmental challenges and issues from disorders that may arise at different stages of life. Includes an in-depth discussion of attachment: a full treatment of anxiety, addressing prevention and nursing intervention for aggressive and assaultive behavior and a chapter incorporating research models and quality assurance guidelines for the generalist level of practice. All material and terminology is consistent with the ANA Standards of Psychiatric-Mental Health Nursing Practice.
