Description

For more than three decades, nursing students have relied on MATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTH NURSING for maternity and pediatric nursing education. The new ninth edition responds to changes in practice, with an increased focus on the nursing process, health promotion, family-centered care, cultural diversity and care in the home and community settings. Illustrations or photos on nearly every other page simplify learning. Students will rely on this book long after leaving the classroom.

* Comprehensive coverage of basic maternity and pediatric nursing prepares students for today's practice. * Strong emphasis on family found within the narrative is essential in planning and implementing care. * Health promotion focus stresses teaching, screening and assessment to maintain optimal health. * Expanded coverage of cultural considerations develops awareness of diversity and provides strategies for meeting client needs. * Procedures are boxed for easy retrieval of step-by-step instructions. * Boxed Nurse Alerts offer helpful, practical tips for students new to the clinical setting. * Care plans include rationales for steps to help students understand why nursing actions are performed. * Each chapter includes Critical Thought Questions with answers in the Instructor's Resource Manual to help students learn to apply knowledge to practice.
