About this book

Perry's Maternal Child Nursing Care in Canada 3rd edition by Lisa Keenan-Lindsay, Cheryl A. Sams, and Constance L. O'Connor provides comprehensive coverage of maternal, newborn, and pediatric nursing within the Canadian healthcare context. The text connects evidence informed nursing practice with family centred care, clinical judgment, health promotion, and culturally responsive care across pregnancy, birth, childhood, and adolescence.

The 3rd edition covers reproductive health, pregnancy, prenatal assessment, labour and birth, postpartum care, newborn assessment, high risk pregnancy, neonatal complications, family nursing, growth and development, pediatric health promotion, and nursing care of children with acute and chronic conditions. It also addresses respiratory, cardiovascular, neurological, gastrointestinal, renal, endocrine, hematologic, oncologic, infectious, and musculoskeletal disorders in pediatric populations.

This textbook is intended primarily for Canadian nursing students studying maternal newborn and pediatric nursing. Its clinical examples, assessment guidance, nursing interventions, family focused approach, Canadian practice considerations, and emphasis on clinical judgment support classroom learning, simulation, clinical placements, care planning, and preparation for nursing examinations.

Nursing students, Registered Nurses, and other healthcare trainees can use this 2022 edition to strengthen maternal and child assessment, understand pregnancy and newborn care, evaluate pediatric health problems, and plan evidence informed nursing interventions. The complete 3rd edition is available as a searchable PDF enhanced digital version with instant access for coursework, clinical preparation, examination study, and nursing reference.
