| Summary |
All aspects of safe, effective, holistic care for birthing mothers, newborns, and their families are included in this guide for new antepartum and postpartum nurses and their preceptors during the orientation period. This book provides current information regarding care for both low- and high-risk antepartum and postpartum patients. It encompasses evidence-based practice guidelines and clinical recommendations for routine antepartum and postpartum assessment and care, care of women with preexisting conditions or complications of pregnancy, postpartum complications, and care of special populations. Each chapter features an "orientation guide" to acquaint the new orientee with essential information on procedures and policies, equipment, medications, and protocols. While targeted to hospital-based nurses and new nurses in orientation, it is also a helpful resource for those who practice in related settings and nurse midwifery students. Appendices include a skills checklist, a list of commonly used medications, abbreviations, and lab values. -- From publisher's description |
