Outstanding Reference for Nurse, Childbirth Educator, Doula!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Whether you are a nurse who needs a reference about anything regarding maternal child health; a midwife, a childbirth educator or doula who is in search of a comprehensive reference manual for practice, this text is one of the most outstanding. The information is well organized from preconception to postpartum and includes wellness issues as well as the technocratic side of maternity care. Emotional and cultural aspects are included. The area of medications/side effects used during labor/birth is somewhat thin and vague (But this is the only disappointing section). There are many useful graphics, illustrations, tables and charts to enhance the reader's understanding of the content. An extensive bibliography follows each chapter. I have been using this in my practice for over a year and continue to be generallly thrilled with the extent of the content!
