The market leader among RN psychiatric nursing texts, Foundations of Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing offers students a clear, straightforward way to understand the often intimidating subject of psychiatric nursing from a practical clinical perspective. A user-friendly writing style engages the reader in a learning process that both informs and enlightens. Clinical chapters are consistently, logically organized from theory to application. Specific psychobiological disorders continue to be organized from moderate to severe along the Mental Health Continuum. Nursing process is the strong, visible framework throughout - Nursing Care Plans in clinical chapters derive from the corresponding Case Studies in those chapters. Nursing process format - Vignettes with a personal touch are brief, descriptive characterizations of clients with specific psychiatric disorders. Sprinkled liberally throughout to illustrate and enhance the text discussion - Nurse, Client, and Family Resources lists, located at the end of each chapter, are a wonderful source of information for client education. All have been revised and updated and provide a wide assortment of associations and Internet sites New chapter on "Care for the Dying and for Those Who Grieve" provides end of-life care psychiatric nursing interventions for those clients Rehabilitation in the community is highlighted in the revised chapter on severe mental illness New unit organization of chapters emphasizes the clinical perspective of the book, as does the new subtitle. Also facilitates use by programs that want to integrate psych nursing throughout the nursing curriculum Research Findings boxes, located in most clinical chapters, give students a basic awareness of the latest results of scientific studies on psychiatric topics (e.g., new therapies) and introduces them to scientific methodology. Abstract format in easy-to-understand language Assessment Guidelines boxes at the end of each assessment section in the nursing process part of clinical chapters provide summary points for client assessment
