Editorial Review:This text presents primary care information for the nurse-midwifery scope of practice, including management of primary care problems in essentially healthy women, and the management/coordination of primary care for pregnant women with significant, established medical conditions. The text covers prevention, including lifestyle changes and immunizations; screening; management of common health problems appropriate to nurse-midwifery practice; and the presentation and management of common health problems in pregnancy.

- Eh for the student nurse midwife
I read this book for midwifery school and it is interesting from a feminist point of view, but I wanted new thoughts, not all the same information I can get from Our Bodies, Our Selves. Just stick will Varney's, gives you all the information you need unless you need more feminist theory in your practice.

Rating:

- Excellent Coverage of Primary Care for the Non-Primary Care Provider
I think my title says it all. I found this text very easy to follow, and the size of the book helps make the chapters not seem so daunting. There is nothing worse than a chapter that never ends, but even the longer chapters don't take so long because the book itself is fairly small. The only reason I give this 4 stars is because the photos are black and white; I find this difficult when trying to learn about skin diseases, etc. I prefer full color pictures to help illustrate the chapters.

- I actually use this
Many textbooks I purchase for my courses in midwifery gather dust on the shelves soon after arrival because the information is found elsewhere or not that relevant. This book is different, it is something I will use when I get out of school as well. It covers such a variety of things in a concise easy to understand manner. I would say buy this book even if it is on your optional list of texts.
