Overview
Now part of the popular LPN Threads series, this market-leading text provides essential content for a solid foundation in maternity nursing. Its easy-to-follow body system approach progresses along a continuum from conception to adulthood, emphasizing prevention, early recognition, antepartum care, and the family. With its easy-to-read, clear writing style, it provides exactly the right depth and breadth of content for LPN/LVNs.
- Organization by simple-to-complex and health-to-illness continuum makes it easy to locate and access information, allowing you to see how complex content builds upon simpler concepts. Health-to-illness reflects the wellness basis for maternal and newborn care.

- UNIQUE! Traditional Healthy Latin American Diet Pyramid illustration with food availability, preferences, and cultural patterns from different countries provides a more culturally sensitive look at nutrition.

- Built-in Perforated Self-Assessment Workbook included at the back of the book features clinical situations, Internet activities, and multiple-choice questions.
