Psychiatric-Mental Health Nursing: Scope and Standards of Practice

This book is a foundational volume that articulates the essentials of psychiatric-mental health nursing, its activities and accountabilities -- the who, what, when, where, and how of practice -- at all practice levels and settings.

Delineating a body of knowledge and an advanced set of applied nursing skills, this book reflects the diverse activities in which general and advanced practice psychiatric-mental health nurses are engaged and serves them in their clinical practice, education, research, and community service. It is a core resource for the nurses who have chosen to focus their professional life in this area.

While this book is primarily for practicing nurses, it is also an essential resource for nursing faculty and students, other health care providers, researchers and scholars, and those involved in funding, legal, policy, and regulatory activities.
