Synopsis
"This is truly a contribution to the hands-on clinical literature.... This book can serve as a resource for nurses working in inpatient psychiatry, nursing students, and nursing faculty who teach undergraduate psychiatric nursing." -Choice: Current Reviews for Academic Libraries " A] great book for inpatient psychiatric nurses." -Doody's Medical Reviews Psychiatric nursing practice has changed dramatically to accommodate increasing patient acuity and an evolving healthcare landscape. In addition, the inter-relationship of medical illness and psychiatric symptoms can make treatment and care challenging for nurses, regardless of where they practice. Inpatient Psychiatric Nursing: Clinical Strategies, Medical Considerations, and Practical Interventions reflects these factors by focusing on four particularly challenging aspects: keeping the patient safe, stabilizing symptoms, promoting engagement in treatment, and discharge planning. In a systematic, easy-to-access format, it offers evidencebased interventions and concrete strategies that can be used to alleviate patient distress and effectively deliver care.
