Psychiatric-Mental Health Nursing is the market's most evidence-based survey of whole-patient psychiatric nursing. Modeled for the general RN student, the text will prepare you to provide effective, compassionate care and treatment for patients with mental illness in an acute care setting. Nursing care plans guide you through the development of a care plan based on a nursing diagnosis. Longitudinal case studies take you through the experience of a representative patient seeking treatment for a specific disorder.

The 2nd Edition has the most evidence-based information on the market. It features a new chapter on sociological influences on mental health and new unfolding case studies in many chapters.
