Customer Reviews

Forensic Nursing Care Plans

Purchased this publication on the advice of my wife who is a Professor within a Psychiatric Nursing Program for my Forensic In-patient unit. My staff, made up of young and relatively inexperienced nurses have found this book extremely helpful. It is easy to read and its application into the program has been seamless and user friendly. Highly recommended.

Informative and practical resource

This is a text with a winning combination of psychiatric nursing fundamentals, supported by 54 psychiatric care plans that help you address the most commonly encountered behaviors and complexes in mental health nursing. It comes with a handy CD for cut and paste, DSM-IV-TR standard terminology and NANDA nursing diagnoses help you pinpoint a range of disorders using the latest diagnostic criteria. This text I believe is designed to enhance the effectiveness and improve the communication with both your clients and members of the care team. The book addresses the basic concepts, issues, and interventions that form the foundation for psychiatric practice.
