MATERNAL-NEWBORN NURSING (A FAMILY AND COMMUNITY-BASED APPROACH) - 6th Edition
Olds, Sally Brookens
1999 21186 New 6th edition of a text based on the idea that pregnancy and birth are normal life processes and that family members are co-participants in care. Olds (retired professor of nursing), Marcia L. London (teacher and pediatric nurse), and Patricia A. Wieland Ladewig (nursing, Regis U.) present 33 chapters that discuss contemporary maternal newborn nursing, women's health throughout the lifespan, human reproduction, pregnancy, birth, the newborn, and postpartum. They also discuss critical thinking, essential precautions, and research in practice; critical pathways; assessment, drug, and teaching guides; procedures; and community in focus. Includes a CD-ROM tutorial. 1,090 pages - very heavy oversize and weighty volume. This comprehensive text has set the standard for maternal-newborn nursing textbooks. New content and pedagogy have been incorporated that will prepare nursing students to be flexible, creative, and professional in the face of the trends toward home healthcare and community-based nursing, a growing multi-cultural population, and increasingly sophisticated technology. Address alternative healthcare delivery settings. Community in Focus boxes describe innovative community- based nursing programs in operation throughout the U.S. Home care and community-based nursing care are integrated throughout the text. The Women's Health Unit retains comprehensive coverage of women's health and is now revised to focus more on ambulatory, community-based nursing care. Critical Thinking in Practice Boxes use a case study format to encourage readers to solve problems and make decisions based on what they've learned. Critical Pathways provide readers with time-sequenced guides of anticipated care for healthy women and newborns and address the trend towards collaborative, outcome-driven managed care. Assessment Guides summarize assessment findings and help readers make distinctions between normal findings and variations. Research in Practice Boxes reflect the latest research findings for clinical practice. For anyone interested in learning about maternal/child nursing. Prentice Hall 0805380701 / 9780805380705
