Overview
Davis Advantage for Townsend's Essentials of Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing (10th Edition) by Morgan is a leading psychiatric nursing text built around the nursing process and concepts of care, used in mental health nursing courses. This study guide is built to follow the textbook chapter by chapter, from mental health and mental illness and biological implications through ethical and legal issues, psychopharmacology, therapeutic communication, and the nursing process in psychiatric care. It also covers psychosocial and group interventions, crisis intervention, the recovery model, and suicide prevention, followed by the major disorder chapters: neurocognitive, substance use, schizophrenia spectrum, depressive, bipolar, anxiety and OCD, trauma- and stressor-related, somatic, eating, and personality disorders, plus care across the lifespan and special populations.
