Summary
This focused approach to psychiatric mental health provides you with an uncomplicated way to understand the often-intimidating subject of psychiatric nursing. Inside you'll find two themes of psychiatric mental health nursing: the "How" of Communication and the "Why" of Evidence. You will also find easy-to-understand explanations of the research that applies to psychiatric nursing issues and how to incorporate this evidence into everyday care.

  • UNIQUE! Examining the Evidence boxes ask a realistic question and then explore the research on the topic to demonstrate how best evidence can be used in everyday practice.
  • Highlights therapeutic communication as a core component of mental health nursing and the foundation for successful nurse-patient relationships.
  • UNIQUE! Applying the Art communication tables walk through nurse-patient interactions to illustrate therapeutic and nontherapeutic communication and provide explanations of mental health nursing concepts.
  • Numerous vignettes offer real-life glimpses into clinical practice by describing patients and their psychiatric disorders.

  • Nursing Interventions tables list interventions for a given disorder or clinical situation, along with rationales for each intervention.
