This maternity text prepares students to fully meet the needs of clients, and to master the challenges of contemporary maternity nursing practice.

Significant emphasis is placed on women’s health, encompassing violence against women, health problems, sexual health and family planning.

A heightened family focus centres on family members, education and interaction with the infant. The text introduces readers to the issues they’re likely to encounter in actual nursing practice, including addictive disorders in pregnancy, adolescent pregnancy, and infectious diseases.
