This text presents the information needed for proficiency in maternal-newborn nursing. It covers all the essentials: nursing trends, advances, and procedures in nursing care of the fetus, mother and infant. The orientation is thoroughly practical, the writing is concise and to the point, and the authorship is impeccable. Features drug guides; communication cues that show how to interpret client behaviors and statements; and "Want-To-Know" boxes that answer the questions most asked by mothers and family members. A free 60 page "Keys to Clinical Practice" is shrinkwrapped with each copy. It may also be ordered separately.
