Nurses in this area receive more training in psychological therapies, building a therapeutic alliance, dealing with challenging behaviour and the administration of psychiatric medication (Wikipedia, 2012) The need for psychiatric mental health nursing has its roots near the end of the 19th century when it was believed that patients in mental hospitals should receive nursing care. Psychiatric mental health nursing has since come a long way, with psychiatric-mental health content incorporated into all diploma and baccalaureate nursing programs. As new needs for services developed in the health care arena, the role and function of the psychiatric-mental health nurse expanded, leading to advanced practice registered nurses in psychiatric-mental health nursing (APRN-PMH). Psychiatric-mental health nurses are a rich resource as providers of psychiatric-mental health services and patient care partners for the consumers of those services.
However this essay will focus on what it believes to be the greatest impacts the Plague had on England – the impact on demographics, the impact on social mobility, and the impact on religion. This essay will ultimately argue that the socioeconomic impacts that the plague caused were the most significant. The most obvious impact that the Plague had on England was that of depopulation. The exact figures of death in England due to the Black Death is unknown, but some Historians, including Barry and Gualde, have estimated death at up to 70%, claiming that the population “declined from 7 million before the plague, to 2 million in 1400”. Over 3,000 ‘DMVs’ (Deserted Medieval Villages) have been discovered in England, with historians such as Chorpa attributing the reason for desertion to the plague.
Running head: MULTI-AXIAL DIAGNOSTIC APPROACH Multi-Axial Diagnostic Approach in a Case Study Team C Paper University of Phoenix Multi-Axial Diagnostic Approach in a Case Study The DSM-IV is an extremely important tool used by psychologist to help them better understand the disorders the affect many lives. Although it can be a challenging task to comprehend the DSM-IV and how it works in classifying mental disorders, it is of extreme importance for psychologist’s hopefuls to obtain the information within the DSM-IV. Throughout this paper Team C will explore the DSM-IV and its classification system; the multi-axial approach. Additionally Team C will demonstrate our understanding of DSM-IV and the multi-axial approach, by reviewing the case study below; Jeremy a twice deployed soldier in the U.S. Marine corps.

Running Head: Life Span perspective Life Span Perspective Paper Nicole Holliday June 17, 2012 PSY 375 Lynn Seiser University of Phoenix Running Head: Life Span perspective Lifespan development basically highlights the physical and cognitive changes that happen during an individual’s life. These changes are mainly based on the culture and the particular occurrence surrounding the change. (Boyd & Bee, 2009).

The lifespan perspective is basically ongoing and multidimensional because it is not influenced by any particular age period.
