Chapman (nursing, U. of Arizona) and Durham (nursing and health sciences, California State U., East Bay) provide a textbook on evidence-based practice for basic maternity nursing, for students in all levels of nursing programs. Using the conceptual framework of family developmental theory, chapters are organized by the sequence of perinatal care, pregnancy, labor and birth, postpartum, and neonate periods, and take a bio-psychosocial approach to physiology, psychological adaptation, and social and cultural influences impacting childbearing families and the nursing actions and care of women and their families. They include chapters on tests during the antepartal period and fetal assessment and electronic fetal monitoring, reflecting the increase in intervention in maternity care. Focus is on normal pregnancy and childbirth, with chapters on low-risk and high-risk care. The CD contains an audio version of the book, with abridged versions of selected chapters.
