Varcarolis’ Foundations of Psychiatric-Mental Health Nursing, 9th Edition, is an all-inclusive and research-based text that provides a comprehensive guide to psychiatric nursing care. This book is designed to help readers understand the intricacies of psychiatric disorders and provide high-quality mental and behavioral healthcare.
