Psychiatric Nursing

The definitive text for today’s practice environment, Psychiatric Nursing: Contemporary Practice, 8th Edition, transforms apprehension into confidence, preparing students to provide compassionate, evidence-based care for patients with mental health needs in any healthcare setting. 
 
This approachable, evidence-based resource utilizes a recovery framework model to help nursing students identify the effect of mental health problems on their patients’ well-being and partner with them in the delivery of care and the promotion of wellness. Straightforward writing and a wealth of examples and explanations make complex information easy to understand, incorporating dynamic threaded case studies, clinical vignettes, and other learning tools to help students confidently grasp concepts and learn to apply them to clinical scenarios.

Building on its tradition of excellence, the 8th Edition introduces groundbreaking features that enhance clinical judgment and practical application. New elements include Building Clinical Judgment with SBAR for developing critical communication skills, Reflection of a Nurse boxes for analyzing ineffective interventions, Mental Health Inequities boxes addressing social determinants of health, and Trauma-Informed Care boxes integrating this essential perspective throughout relevant chapters.

The 8th Edition also delivers significant contemporary updates with expanded safety and de-escalation content, a new chapter on Complementary Therapies and Integrative Health reflecting the latest standards, and updated media recommendations including streaming programs for relatable patient examples.
