NCLEX Medical Surgical Nursing Made Easy: Maternity: Maternity Nursing-Connecting the Dots From Paper to Practice - Paperback

by Jasmine Sterling (Author)

As a nurse that has worked in multiple specialties for nearly 20 years, I know what it is like to be overwhelmed with the loads of information presented. Well-intentioned professionals say, "Buy this book, it helped me pass," and you end up with a beautifully colored array of massive sized books. Yet, as a student, who honestly has the time to read them cover to cover? This is over and above the current material, homework, and books you have to use in school.That is why I created this guide for you, specifically for the maternity and newborn section of your NCLEX exam. You need a bite-sized guide that avoids endless overload and gives you easy access to relevant information. This will help you take the test confidently and put your critical thinking into practice.The NCLEX tests your knowledge on the following aspects of OB nursing: gestation, pregnancy signs, gravidity and parity, fundal height, maternal risk factors, labor, and its potential complications. You will also need to demonstrate your knowledge and skills in the following areas: the patient's response to pregnancy, postpartum complications, cultural differences, delivery date calculations, assessing the fetus, providing prenatal care and education, as well as postpartum and discharge assistance.
