Description
This textbook in psychiatric nursing integrates both biological and behavioural implications of nursing care across the lifespan. It teaches students to understand the role of stress and coping on adaptive and maladaptive responses. Using the nursing process and the DSM-IV classification, each chapter discusses general and advance practice roles in case histories. This gives students insight into the diverse clinical settings and practices available to the psychiatric nurse. This text-book helps the student understand the complexity of mental illness and how to formulate an effective plan of care in a variety of mental health settings.
