Leifer's Introduction to Maternity & Pediatric Nursing in Canada E-Book

Part of the popular LPN Threads series, Introduction to Maternity & Pediatric Nursing provides a comprehensive foundation in obstetrics and pediatric nursing, organized by developmental stages and body systems from simple-to-complex and health-to-illness. Written in a clear, concise style by Gloria Leifer, MA, RN, this edition aligns with the current NCLEX® test plan and emphasizes family-centered care, safety, health promotion, nutrition, and psychosocial considerations. Cultural Considerations boxes and a Cultural Assessment Data Collection Tool support individualized care planning, while Health Promotion boxes highlight preventive strategies for prenatal wellness, pregnancy, postnatal health, and pediatric illness prevention, including complete immunization schedules. Nursing Tips, objectives, key terms with phonetic pronunciations, and Nursing Care Plans with critical thinking questions help students translate knowledge into clinical practice.
