Product Description
Designed for shorter pediatric and maternity nursing courses, this useful textbook provides students with the "right amount" of maternity and pediatric content in an up-to-date, easy-to-understand manner. Divided into two sections, the first part of the book includes 28 chapters covering maternity nursing content and the second part contains 27 chapters covering pediatric nursing content. Numerous illustrations, photos, and tables help illustrate and clarify the information for the student. Many special boxes, pedagogical features, and an inviting full-color design also help make key information easy to find and review. * Nurse Alerts identify critical information that students should not overlook when treating patients. * Guidelines boxes outline nursing procedures in an easy-to-follow approach. * Emergency boxes highlight emergency procedures in a step-by-step format to help students understand how to perform them. * Home Care boxes detail important information to help prepare students to deliver care to patients and families in the home setting. * Atraumatic Care boxes (in the pediatrics section) teach students to provide competent care without creating undue physical or psychological stress to the patient. * Community Focus boxes emphasize community issues, provide resources and guidance, and illustrate nursing care in a variety of settings. * Critical Thinking Exercises provide students with case scenarios that depict real life situations to help them choose the best interventions and make good clinical judgments. * Cultural Awareness boxes provid

This book is horrible. It is redundant, full of fluff with no end of chapter questions, no glossary and a non-user friendly index.
 Hopelessly disorganized November 19, 2008

This book would not be so bad if it were better organized and had a better index in the back. A glossary would also be a great addition. The organization of the book causes me to spend way too much time trying to find the information. The index is poor which is another huge frutration. Because the information on a particular topic is so scattered, if you found the info. once you may never find it again. When I am looking for information on a particular topic I do not want to have to read half the book gleaning a bit out of every chapter. This book frustrated me to the max. The information is all there if you can just find it. I will sell it with glee and purchase another OB nursing book for my shelf for reference purposes.

Good book, even though it's required January 18, 2008

This book was required for my last semester of nursing school (OB/Peds), but I still think it's a good book. It does a good job of combining OB & Peds instead of having two separate (and often confusing) references as we've had in other subjects.
~~~It's now near the end of the semester and I wanted to amend my review of this book. I tried to change my rating to 4 stars and couldn't. I personally feel that the book contains too much information, half of which was not covered the entire semester. Even in the parts we have covered, the information is often repeated in two or three times, greatly adding to the bulk of the book. The information could have been written in a much more concise manner, and is often verbose and wordy.
