Varcarolis' Foundations of Psychiatric-Mental Health Nursing

Varcarolis' Foundations of Psychiatric-Mental Health Nursing: A Clinical Approach, 9th Edition, presents foundational principles for psychiatric and mental health nursing practice.

This textbook aligns its clinical chapters with the DSM-5 sequence, presenting diagnostic criteria for major psychiatric disorders.
