I'm pleased with this purchase. I received this book earlier than expected and it was in a good condition. I bought this textbook for my wife because she needed it for psychiatric mental health nursing course as it provides a clinically based focus with the latest guidelines to psychiatric nursing care. My wife says that this book is a perfect reference for creating care plans and for clinical use and for care plans. Highly recommended ;)
