Safe Maternity and Pediatric Nursing Care focuses on the “need-to-know” content that will allow nurses to achieve safe practice. Faculty is consistently challenged to decide what material is most relevant to present to their students in
their packed curriculum. Programs cover OB/Peds content in a variety of course lengths, sometimes taught together and sometimes separate. The authors of this text carefully curated the content so that what is in print is “necessary,” and we offer “nice-to-know” content online. The online chapters are fully supported with Active Classroom Instructor’s Guide materials, PowerPoint, Instructor and Student Test Banks, and study guide exercises. Bonus chapters include the following:
1:Introduction to QSEN
2:Cultural Competency in Maternity and Pediatric Care
3:Women’s Health Promotion Across the Life Span
