Elsevier eBook on VitalSource
Introduce your students to the science and art of maternity and pediatric nursing! Maternal-Child Nursing, 6th Edition makes it easy to understand the essentials of women’s health, maternity, and children’s nursing care. It simplifies the steps of the nursing process and relates them to care, helping students develop clinical judgment skills and provide safe, effective care in evidence-based practice. Because it combines maternity and pediatric content into a single text, this book is ideal for programs without the two separate courses. In addition, active learning tools on the Evolve website allow students to apply their knowledge to the practice setting.
