Description

This is the second edition of a book written in an attempt to provide practising psychiatric nurses with a guide to the implementation of the nursing process in their own discipline. It is a response to the changes in nursing practice that have occurred since 1985. Two new chapters have been added which look at objective setting, and the relationship between the nursing process and effective patient-nurse communication, and the community chapter now includes a care study to illustrate the use of the process in this area.
