From the Back Cover
The underlying philosophy of Contemporary Maternal-Newborn Nursing Care continues to focus on the belief that pregnancy and childbirth are normal life processes and that family members are co-participants in care. In the new Fifth Edition, the authors remain committed to providing a text that is accurate and readable, a text that helps students develop the skills and abilities they need now and in the future in an ever-changing health care environment. New and Helpful Learning Tools Chapter Opening Vignettes offer from-the-heart commentary by nurses in a variety of maternal and women's health roles, illustrating not only the diversity of career options available, but also the deep satisfaction enjoyed by these practitioners. The new Fifth Edition introduces readers to the concept of Evidence-Based Practice in Chapter One, and provides detailed examples related to maternal-newborn nursing throughout the text. Community-based Nursing Care icons throughout the text identify specific aspects of maternal-newborn nursing care that occur in community or home settings. Assessment Guides incorporate physical assessment and normal findings, alterations and possible causes, as well as nursing interventions.
