"Delivering a comprehensive, case-based approach drawn from real-world nursing scenarios, Maternity, Newborn, and Women’s Health Nursing: A Case-Based Approach, 2nd Edition, brings patient-based care practices to life to help students master concepts, retain information, and think like nurses—whether they’re applying clinical judgment on the Next Generation NCLEX® or ensuring optimal care in clinical practice. In-depth case studies threaded throughout the text introduce essential clinical content and reinforce the clinical relevance of key concepts by immersing students in patient-based narratives accompanied by engaging learning aids, quizzes, and application exercises that challenge students to apply what they’ve learned. Unit I confidently prepares students for clinicals, familiarizing them with preconception-to-postpartum care of individuals with common pregnancy-related pathologies and sequelae. Units II-IV detail uncomplicated pregnancies, high-risk conditions, and women’s health, incorporating recurring patient encounters to encourage empathy, stimulate learning, and reinforce understanding. Now even more approachable, this extensively revised 2nd Edition employs bias-free, gender-neutral language and a holistic emphasis on inclusivity and diversity to strengthen students’ cultural competence and ensure culturally sensitive patient care. Updated content empowers students with the latest coverage of COVID-19 and gender-affirming care, as well as new and enhanced learning features that reinforce essential nursing competencies and help students make a confident transition to clinical practice"--
