Basic Concepts of Psychiatric-Mental Health Nursing 8th Edition

This is a core textbook for the LPN and ADN psychiatric-mental health course. This textbook presents succinct, yet comprehensive coverage of topics for the short or integrated psychiatric-mental health course. The goal of the Eighth Edition has been to address current issues and trends in psychiatric–mental health nursing to foster competency in the delivery of mental health care addressing lifespan, diversity and disparities in access to care. It also retains key features that have been well-received in previous editions – specifically self-awareness prompts, clinical examples, and recurring boxes.
