Description

"The underlying philosophy of Olds' Maternal-Newborn Nursing & Women's Health Across the Lifespan remains that pregnancy and birth are normal life processes and that family members are partners in care. Women's healthcare is an important aspect of nursing, and the authors are 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 healthcare environment. This edition strives to follow the evidence-to present clear information based on evidence to ensure timely, best practice, respectful care for all patients. Today more than ever, there is recognition that childbirth and the immediate postpartum period can be a traumatic event for some families. This edition introduces the need for nurses to provide trauma-informed care for women with a history of traumatic experiences as well as for newborns and families experiencing a traumatic birth"--
