The practice of psychiatric nursing requires a different set of
dwss dwss dwss dwss dwss dwss dwss dwss dwss
skills from medical–surgical nursing, though there is substantial
dwss dwss dwss dwss dwss dwss dwss dwss
overlap. Two domains relate specifically to psychiatric nursing:
dwss dwss dwss dwss dwss dwss dwss dwss
behavioural, including communication, coping, and education; and
dwss dwss dwss dwss dwss dwss dwss
safety, coveringcrisis and risk management. Basic psychosocial
