Newly revised, this text emphasizes the nursing process as an approach to maternal-child health care. The text has been updated to include the latest developments in the care of the child-bearing family. Information on cultural variances has been included along with a major new section on bonding and attachment to enable the nursing student to more fully understand this important process. The latest techniques in prenatal screening including chorionic villi sampling, amniocentesis, and ultrasonography have been added. Sections on detriments to fetal health included smoking, alcohol consumption, drugs and environmental influences have been expanded. Each chapter includes learning objectives, review questions and self-evaluation tests, and suggested activities that provide opportunities for students to apply newly-gained knowledge. Also included is an expanded glossary and index for quick reference. This book should be of interest to nurses and midwives.
