Created specifically for LPN/LVN students, Introductory Mental Health Nursing, 5th Edition, instills the comprehensive understanding and clinical confidence for success in today’s evolving mental health nursing practice.  This approachable, easy-to-use text prepares students for the clinical challenges ahead by providing a summarized overview of the theories integral to current treatment modalities accompanied by integrated study exercises that stimulate critical thinking and clinical reasoning. Unit I presents a picture of mental health and mental illness including an expanded emphasis on cultural, ethnic, and religious influences. Building upon those concepts, Unit II discusses the delivery of mental health care, moving from early views to current issues. Unit III explores the nursing process and how it relates to mental health, followed by a detailed breakdown of specific psychiatric disorders in Unit IV and disorders related to age and development in Unit V.  This 5th Edition is extensively updated throughout, delivering the current information and clinical preparation essential to your students’ success in class, on their exams, and beyond. Â
