About This Textbook
This textbook is written with a focus on pregnancy, birth, postpartum, breastfeeding, and newborn care. It presents normal physiology and abnormal conditions specific to maternal/newborn care. The student will be able to implement the Clinical Judgement Measurement Model to recognize, analyze, prioritize, create, act on, and evaluate outcomes throughout the many normal and abnormal conditions presented. Students will be able to provide patient education regarding contraception, pregnancy, labor, or chronic pelvic pain; screen for mental health issues such as postpartum depression and anxiety, grief, or fear; determine a patient’s access to care questioning transportation, insurance, employment; and integrate inclusive care by addressing patients by their preferred name, recognizing populations at higher risk for health disparities or complications, and providing a safe place for care.
