Summary

This updated Seventh Edition will equip psychiatric and mental health nurses with the essential clinical knowledge and skills needed to practice with confidence. Spanning the continuum of care, this text will help nurses excel in a range of settings, improve client and family education skills, and build the self-awareness a nurse needs as a member of the interdisciplinary care team. The book has a dynamic full-color design and a wealth of engaging new learning features. This edition includes a new chapter on forensic nursing, new content on spirituality, updated psychopharmacological information, current DSM-IV-TR diagnostic criteria, and Evidence-Based Practice Boxes throughout the text. A bound-in CD-ROM includes clinical simulations for major depression and schizophrenia, psychotropic drug monographs, over 300 NCLEX(R)-style questions, and movie viewing guides.
