Linnard-Palmer · 3rd Edition · ISBN 9781719648844 · F.A. Davis Company
Complete chapter-by-chapter study guide aligned with Safe Maternity & Pediatric Nursing Care (3rd Edition). Includes summaries, learning objectives, and NCLEX-style practice questions for all 38 chapters.
Overview
Safe Maternity & Pediatric Nursing Care (3rd Edition) by Linnard-Palmer combines maternal-newborn and pediatric nursing in a single text built around patient safety, used in combined OB/peds courses. This study guide is built to follow the textbook chapter by chapter, from women's health and human reproduction through the changes of pregnancy, prenatal care, complications, labor and birth, postpartum care, and newborn adaptation and care. It then moves into health promotion across childhood, from infancy through adolescence, and the nursing care of children with neurological, respiratory, cardiac, metabolic, musculoskeletal, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, oncologic, and other conditions, including the abused child and the child with mental health needs. The aim is to help you review high-yield content the way it is tested on course exams and the NCLEX-RN, without rereading the whole book. It's an independent, aligned study companion — not the textbook and not a copy of it — help you master a large maternity and pediatrics curriculum with safety at the center.
Aligned with combined maternity and pediatric nursing courses and written in NCLEX-RN style, so the safety-focused content mirrors how OB and peds are tested on course exams and the licensure exam.
