The new Maternity and Pediatric Nursing 5th Edition by Ricci, Kyle, and Carman, has been crafted to meet the current educational standards, focusing on the essential concepts that nursing educators must emphasize, especially with diminished classroom time. This textbook lays a strong groundwork for providing effective nursing care to women and children, highlighting crucial content that helps students foresee, recognize, and manage common issues with prompt, evidence-supported interventions.
By merging maternity and pediatric nursing into one unified volume, this book prepares students with the knowledge and expertise necessary for thorough nursing care across the spectrum of women’s and children’s health. This integration fosters a strong knowledge foundation and enhances critical thinking skills, both vital for improving patient outcomes.
The book is divided into eleven units, starting with basic concepts concerning maternity and pediatric nursing care. It addresses various subjects, including women’s health, pregnancy, childbirth, child health promotion, and managing health issues in children. With engaging patient narratives, integrated case studies, “Consider This” sections, and comprehensive nursing care plans, Maternity and Pediatric Nursing encourages critical thinking through real-world examples and scenarios.
The fifth edition brings together content from Ricci’s Essentials of Maternity, Newborn, and Women’s Health Nursing and Kyle/Carman’s Essentials of Pediatric Nursing, merging their strengths into a clear and concise volume. New features include phonetic spellings of key terms, coordinated design elements, and standardized conclusion sections like “Chapter Worksheets” and “Developing Clinical Judgement.” It also reflects the most recent guidelines regarding growth and development, diversity, equity, inclusion, considerations surrounding COVID-19, and the Supreme Court’s abortion ruling. Additional topics include disparities in maternal morbidity and mortality, LGBTI care, human trafficking, obstetric deserts, safe infant sleep strategies, new contraceptives, and updated clinical practice guidelines.
