Maternal-Newborn Nursing

A new core textbook for the nursing student which presents the critical components of the safe delivery of high quality care to women and newborn infants. Focuses on need-to-know content, and presented in a telegraphic style with bulleted lists and graphic designs, perfect for the shorter courses of today. Nursing diagnoses and nursing outcomes open each chapter, and NCLEX-style and critical thinking questions complete each unit.
