Maternity and Gynecologic Care - The Nurse and the Family (Hardcover, 5th Revised edition)

This popular text features comprehensive family centred coverage of perinatal and women's health nursing. The book's success relies on its nursing process framework, normal to complications organization, self-care focus, emphasis on cultural aspects and integration of current nursing research. With a contemporary new design this new edition features: a new chapter on home care and one on women's health promotion and screening; a new colour insert includes photographs of childbirth and newborn assessment; expands content on common gynaecological problems; presents chapter reviews, including key concepts, key terms, critical thinking exercises, and questions for nursing research to help students evaluate and apply what they have learned; and includes case studies that follow client care through the five steps of the nursing process and lead into nursing care plans. A free Quick Reference for Maternity and Gynecologic Nursing comes shrink-wrapped with each text, and also available is an Instructor's Resource Manual and Test Bank, 50 two-colour acetates, and a Student Learning Guide.
