Master Psychiatric-Mental Health Nursing with the Test Bank for Keltner & Steele’s Psychiatric Nursing (9th Edition) by Norman L. Keltner and Debbie Steele – Over 3,500 Questions, All 43 Chapters In the profoundly human and rapidly evolving specialty of psychiatric-mental health nursing—where therapeutic relationships, neurobiologic understanding, and recovery-oriented care can change or save lives—the Test Bank for Keltner & Steele’s Psychiatric Nursing, 9th Edition by Norman L. Keltner and Debbie Steele stands as the definitive companion to Elsevier’s #1 psych nursing textbook.
