Publisher Summary 1
Like the field of nursing itself, this textbook for nursing students brings together the scientific and humanistic foundations of caregiving in addressing the contemporary problems of maternal-newborn nursing. The text is organized into four main units, all of them employing the family-centered approach to nursing care: dynamics of human reproduction, and adaptation in the prenatal, intrapartum, and postpartum periods. This revised edition (of Comprehensive Maternity Care, 2d ed. , 1990) adds a number of new features as well as new chapters on women's health across the life span, childbearing and parenting after age 35, and perinatal high-risk challenges. A supplemental Pocket Guide to Maternal & Neonatal Nursing (55125-8) summarizes important points and facts helpful in the clinical area. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
