Synopsis :

Appropriate as a core text as well as a reference for a maternity nursing course.

Nurses working with childbearing families today face a variety of new challenges, including shortened lengths of stay, the trend toward greater use of community-based and home care, downsizing and mergers of health care systems. The Fifth Edition, formerly titled Maternal-Newborn Nursing Care: The Nurse, the Family, and the Community, continues to emphasize the central role played by nurses working with today's childbearing families.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture:

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.
