DESCRIPTION
Maternal and Child Health Nursing
follows the family from pre-pregnancy
through pregnancy, labor, birth, and the post-partal period. It then follows
the child and the family from birth through adolescence. Basic themes that
are integrated into this text include the experience of wellness and illness as
family-centered events, the perception of pregnancy and childbirth as periods
of wellness, and the importance of knowing normal child development in the
planning of nursing care. Also included are themes reflective of changes in
health care delivery and the importance of meeting the needs of a culturally
diverse population. With the use of chapter opening scenarios, critical thinking
care studies and patient scenarios this text links theory closely with application
that helps students gain a deeper understanding of content and be better
prepared in their careers.
