Product Description

Mental Health Nursing provides students with a highly evidence-based and practical account of the skills required for nursing practice. Written in response to the Chief Nursing Officer's review of Mental Health Nursing in England and that of the Scottish Executive, the authors translate theory into clearly applied skills supported by practiced examples, tips, and online activities. By inviting contributions from nursing academics, researchers, and practitioners, this text reflects the best of theory and practice. Each chapter discusses the policy and evidence base for each skill, so students know their practice is rigorous, before outlining a step-by-step description of that skill. Practical Example and Tips" boxes demonstrate how the skill can be used on placements. Sutdents can develop their skills through online quizzes, scenarios, and activities on a free dedicated Online Resource Center, which also provides updates on evidence, clinical guidelines, and protocols every six months.
