'Inpatient Psychiatric Nursing: Clinical Strategies and Practical Interventions describes specific aspects of inpatient psychiatric nursing practice, with a focus on three types of inpatient treatment goals: keeping the patient safe, stabilizing symptoms, and promoting engagement in treatment. The book also discusses discharge planning. The book is organized into two parts: Part I is divided according to patient behaviors, while Part II focuses on interventions that nurses can employ to manage behaviors. Part I features a consistent chapter format so that specific content is easy to access, and each chapter includes a comprehensive table covering goals, areas of assessment, and interventions of the chapter's covered behavior. The symptomatic approach will provide a translational model to improve outcomes for psychiatric patients with medical symptoms and medical patients with psychiatric symptoms. This book is intended for any nurse working with patients having behavioral disturbances regardless of the cause'--
