Maternal & Child Health Nursing

Maternal and Child Health Nursing, Sixth Edition helps nurses understand wellness and illness as family-centered events. The author, Adele Pillitteri, views maternal-newborn and child health care not as two separate disciplines but as a continuum of knowledge. She presents the content of the two disciplines comprehensively with a holistic approach. The accompanying study guide includes chapter overviews, key terms, and learning objectives as well as case studies and a range of practice exercises-matching, multiple-choice, true/false, fill-in-the-blank, and short answer. Readers will also learn to develop nursing care plans and patient teaching plans and explore nursing care priorities for clinical and community settings.
