Great Book

I would definitely recommend this book to maternity, L & D, postpartum nurses who like to get information from a hardbound reliable source. It has good, detailed information. Only downside, textbooks go out of date. So it's probably best as a tool for while you're in nursing school still.

Study Guide Maternity and Women's Health Care

This is a great product. I received it promptly when our college bookstore was continually out of stock. It made the difference for me when I started my classes and had my materials, and other students did not. Great transaction.

Updated.... complete.... excellent resource

My copy of this new edition just arrived, and I'm thrilled with it! More color, more summaries, more of everything... Certainly a nursing text book is not going to hit the Best Seller List, but this one should be on every nurse's wish list. While its target audience is nursing students, the book is a great reference for experienced nurses, too. It covers all aspects of women's health care, from well woman exams, to birth control, and pregnancy to menopause.New additions to this, the 7th Edition, include expanded information on health and risk assessment, psychosocial issues, Spanish/English translations to facilitate care, information on alternative and complementary health care, and a CD ROM with addtiional resources, study guides, and illustrations.The editors and contributors have provided an excellent resource for nurses involved in all phases of women's health care.
