Product Description
Provides nurse midwives quick access to important clinical information that is detailed, generally has not been memorized, or that discusses issues which are encountered infrequently enough that a quick review of the details is helpful when the situation arises. Consistent presentation in each chapter begins with a brief definition of the problem, diagnostic tests and labs, differential diagnosis where appropriate, and concludes with a decision-making tree to assist in the decision making process. Nurse-midwifery management guidelines are included throughout to provide the practitioner with important information such as when to manage independently or when to consult with the physician. UNIQUE! Integrates alternative and complementary therapies along with key medical information specific to midwifery practice to provide practitioners with complete care alternatives.

I bought this book as I want to learn to become a midwife. In the meantime it also has been of another use as I am pregnant again. It is wonderful to read it and learn from. Super book.

I suppose you might call me biased because I not only love this book, but have the honor of working with Constance as a labor nurse on the unit where she is a midwife. This book is just fantastic, filled with important information on all topics from A to Z. If you are a nurse who works in OB or are a midwife, I can't speak anough of this book.
Invaluable for Midwives! March 22, 2005

I initially bought this book during my midwifery training. It covers almost everything you would need to know to care for your patients from puberty to menopause. Constance also includes alternative therapies which are very helpful. It's very user friendly and was a great resource and review when studying for my midwifery certification exam. Because I carry it with me most of the time, I accidentally misplaced it. I had no second thoughts when reordering it!!! It's a "must have"!!!
