Answering a need: geropsychiatric nursing course development.
1. A part of the commitment to holistic nursing care is meeting the mental health needs of its clients. 2. There exists a great need to deal with both mental and physical problems in older persons. Moreover, geropsychiatry is greatly lacking in the policy and practice of nursing education. 3. Graduate-level courses must focus on both mental health promotion and disease prevention, particularly for the older persons who are consumers.
