Full Description
Maternal-Newborn Nursing & Women's Health Across the Lifespan acknowledges the central role of nurses in all aspects of childbearing. Relatable and engaging, it promotes holistic, evidence-based care grounded in patient-family partnerships. You'll build the clinical reasoning skills needed to care for patients in an ever-changing healthcare system.
The 12th Edition covers shifts in nursing care prompted by recent and major changes in reproductive healthcare, including a dramatic rise in maternal mortality and the U.S. Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v. Wade. Additionally, Healthy People 2030 goals related to maternal, newborn and women's healthcare have been incorporated into the start of each chapter.
