Editorial Review:
Maternity Nursing focuses on the care of women during the childbearing years. Designed to meet the needs of today's students, it addresses the fundamentals of maternity nursing with a clear, readable writing style and concise, focused content presentation. Integrating the importance of understanding family, culture, and health promotion into the continuum of care, it also includes a strategic integration of community-based care to emphasize that care can take place wherever the woman may be. It also addresses wellness promotion and the management of women's common health problems. The companion CD comes with useful study tools, including video and animation segments and an English/Spanish audio glossary with pronunciations.- Patient Instructions for Self-Care and Home Care boxes emphasize guidelines for the patient to practice self-care and transfer information from the hospital to the home.

Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Great Reference Book
This book is a great reference for all that is concerned with maternity and newborn infant care. It is easy to read and comprehend.
Rating:  - too many acronyms
The book is not easy too read. It is very informative, however. The authors should use less acronyms. Sometimes whole sentences are full of acronyms and it is just too hard to keep track of them.
Rating: - Falling apart
The content of the book has been very helpful for my nursing class and test content. The book is not well made. I've used the book for a few weeks and already the binding is coming apart on the last page of the book. I only need it for the next 6 weeks until the semester ends and I just hope it can hold on that long.
Rating: - Maternity Nursing 7th Edition
The book was in great condition! Looked brand new and arrived in only a couple of days!
