While leading Alissa’s orientation at her first nursing job years ago, I gave her a little notebook to serve as her “Pocket Brain” and in which to write important information she learned. I encouraged her to keep this notebook in her pocket and have it accessible at all times. While writing this book, I thought of Alissa and all my wonderful nursing students, past, present, and future, and asked myself what they would need to know in order to give the best care to their patients. I wrote this reference manual with the hope that it would serve as a reliable and handy resource, a “Pocket Brain,” for nursing students as well as new-to-practice and expert nurses who share my passion in caring for women. And, of course, this book is dedicated to Reg, my husband, who has taught me that the key to communication is listening; to my son Leo, whom I truly admire for the way he stays calm and intensely focused under pressure (especially at baseball!); to my fearless Leilani, who is always curious and who proudly refers to anatomi- cal parts correctly and is not afraid to say “vagina!”; and to our Baby Leah, a warm snuggler who commands a room with her laughter. I dedicate this book and my heart to you. To all the beautiful, strong, and brave women for whom I have had the privilege of caring and who allowed me to be part of their lives, this book is for you. 2246_FM_i-xxxii 04/05/13 10:38 AM Page vi 2246_FM_i-xxxii 04/05/13 10:38 AM Page vii Preface Maternal-Newborn Nursing Care: Best Evidence-Based Practicesis in- tended to serve as a reliable reference book for nurses working in the area of women’s health. This book was written with the nursing student as well as new-to-practice and experienced nurses in mind and is meant to be used as a dynamic “Pocket Brain” to help guide nurses in diverse hospital and community settings in providing safe, proficient, quality care to mothers, newborns, and their families. Chapter content includes an examination of normal and abnormal pathophysiology of the childbearing woman and newborn and an overview of the components of care for normal and high-risk pregnant and postpartum women and neonates. Other chapters are dedicated to teaching nurses to provide culturally competent care in the women’s health setting and to training nurses to recognize signs of abuse and assess, counsel, and follow up with compromised mothers. This book contains unique features, such as sample scripts for nurses who are dis- cussing with their patients potentially sensitive situations surrounding contraception, sexually transmitted infections, and abuse as well as a chart of common medical terms translated from English to Spanish. Nurses who share a passion for and commitment to the care of mothers and their newborns will appreciate the inclusion of concise, comprehensive assessments; discussion of disease processes; easy-to- understand tables of laboratory work-ups and values; common treatment guidelines and modalities; and the steps to implement and evaluate nurs- ing care specific to women’s health.
