Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing Flashcards

Understanding psychiatric mental health concepts will not only help with being prepared for exams, it will also help with clinical rotations. Patients with mental health concerns and disorders are in every type of nursing environment. It is essential that nurses be able to effectively assess for mental health concerns, advocate for patients, ensure patient safety (AND personal safety), and provide therapeutic communication. There are three sections of psychiatric mental health knowledge covered in these flashcards:
