Maternal-infant Nursing Care
註釋With a focus on the most current, essential coverage of normal and high risk maternity nursing, the 3rd Edition has been thoroughly updated to reflect the needs of today's nursing practice. It includes expanded coverage of maternal-newborn home care in response to shorter hospital stays and greater emphasis on care in the home throughout the childbearing experience. It also retains its "student-friendly" style and is loaded with pedagogical elements designed to test student's content knowledge and criticalthinking skills. Case studies and reality-based nursing planning and intervention immerse the student in "real-life" situations. The client's cultural background and the involvement of the family in the nursing care are important themes integrated throughout the text.

  • Care Maps and Decision Trees are examples of clinical, collaborative tools to introduce students to care implementation in the clinical environment.
  • Warning Signs boxes alert students to potential problems.
  • Answers to Test Yourself and Clinical Decision boxes at the end of the book help students evaluate their learning and application of critical thinking skills.
