From prenatal through postpartum care, Gloria Leifer's Maternity
Nursing: An Introductory Text provides an essential foundation for
promoting the health and wellness of mothers and newborns. This
edition includes the latest advances and practice standards in
maternity nursing care, highlighting Healthy People 2020 and the
2011 Joint Commission National Patient Safety Goals. Part of the
popular LPN Threads series, this text addresses the knowledge,
skills, and scope of practice appropriate for LPN/LVN and
LPN/LVN-to-ADN ladder programs. Chronological organization of
content follows a sequence from family issues, fetal development,
pregnancy, labor, birth, and care of the newborn, to postpartum
issues with special social, familial, and cultural considerations.
Organization of concepts in each chapter by simple to complex and
from health to illness makes it easier to locate and understand the
material. Complete, concise coverage includes a table of
physiologic and psychosocial changes throughout the pregnancy,
unique content on CPR for the pregnant patient and infectious
diseases acquired during pregnancy, a pictorial story of a vaginal
birth, cultural considerations of pregnancy and maternal care, and
nursing responses to loss, death, and grief. UNIQUE! A FREE Study
Guide in the back of the book reinforces understanding with
multiple-choice, fill-in-the-blank, scenario-based clinical
situation questions, and online activities. Nursing Care Plans with
critical thinking questions help in understanding how a care plan
is developed, how to evaluate care of a patient, and how to apply
your knowledge to clinical scenarios. Health Promotion boxes and
content focus on family-centered care, health promotion, illness
prevention, and women's health issues. Clinical Pathways use an
interdisciplinary, collaborative-care approach in tracking
interventions along a timeline from assessment to discharge and
follow up. Online resources for further research and study are
included at the end of each chapter. UNIQUE! LPN Threads make
learning easier, featuring a 10th-grade reading level, key terms
with phonetic pronunciations and text page references, chapter
objectives, special features boxes, and full-color art,
photographs, and design. Coverage of the latest advances in nursing
care includes fetal heart rate monitoring during labor and delivery
and revised diabetes classifications. Get Ready for the NCLEX (R)
Examination! section at the end of each chapter includes key
points, review questions, and critical thinking questions for
individual, small group, or classroom review. Safety Alert! boxes
highlight 2011 Joint Commission National Patient Safety Goals, with
special consideration for serious and potentially fatal medication
errors. Easily recognizable icons for standard steps are included
in each skill (e.g., hand hygiene). UNIQUE! Icons in page margins
point to relevant animations and video clips on the companion
Evolve website.
