Build the knowledge and clinical judgment you need to succeed in
maternity and pediatric nursing! Written in a clear, easy-to-read
style, Introduction to Maternity and Pediatric Nursing, 9th Edition
describes how you can provide effective, evidence-based care for
women during pregnancy, labor, and delivery, and for newborns and
growing children. The text spans the continuum of child
development, organizing topics from simple to complex and from
health to illness; this approach makes it easy to locate
information. Another hallmark of the book is its strong focus on
family-centered care, health promotion, and illness prevention.
