Description
This famous text provides midwives at all stages of their careers with an indispensable learning and reference source. Some chapters have new contributors to ensure that all material is up-to-date with current practice. The new edition features a new chapter on ethical issues to aid ethical decision-making, another on quality assurance issues. Reference lists have been included at the end of each chapter, making information easier to find. The following chapters have been extensively revised: sociology, diseases associated with pregnancy, the sick neonate, community health and social services, sexually transmitted diseases, and statutory control of the practice of midwives.
