Description

Together, pregnancy and childbirth are a normal life process — a process in which the entire family has a vital role to play. This philosophy has shaped Contemporary Maternal-Newborn Nursing Care through 7 editions, and continues to serve as a guiding theme. With a strong focus on community based nursing and client education, this text emphasizes the importance of collaboration between nurses and childbearing families. It is the foremost goal of this book to inspire nursing students to become expert caregivers and to teach them that working with childbearing families requires a combination of knowledge, intuition, and technical skills.
