Bυу Maternity & Women’s Shape Care аt Amazon

My copy of this new edition just arrived, and I’m thrilled with it! More color, more summaries, more of everything… Certainly a nursing text book is not going to hit the Best Seller List, but this one should be on every nurse’s wish list. While its target audience is nursing students, the book is a fantastic reference for experienced nurses, too. It covers all aspects of women’s shape care, from well woman exams, to birth hegemony, and pregnancy to menopause.
New additions to this, the 7th Edition, contain expanded information on shape and risk assessment, psychosocial issues, Spanish/English translations to facilitate care, information on alternative and complementary shape care, and a CD ROM with addtiional resources, study guides, and illustrations.
The editors and contributors have provided an brilliant resource for nurses involved in all phases of women’s shape care.

Fantastic buy
Nice book for OB. The price from Amazon was excellent too. I really conmsidered to stop buys from Amazon because of problems I have always had with products said to qualify on…
I have really loved this book (as much as a textbook can be enjoyable). It is concise, well-written, and to the point. Information is intelligently arranged so it is simple to reference and look things up. There are also lots of care plans included to help you out with clinical red tape. My only gripe with this book is that the glossary is kind of puny- so if you don’t know what something is (and there are lots of words in OB that you won’t hear anywhere else) then you have to go back to the index and flip through the chapters to find where that thing is talked about in the book.
I’ve found this book to be a very hard read. The chapters are long and dull and it’s very hard to find information on a specific topic by by the glossary. I’ve found it more helpful to go online and research topics than to use this OB text. Avoid this book if you can.

The book was really excellent at reviewing the chapters in the text. It didn’t really help me for the tests because our test questions were complex and hard and I felt like the…
