Maternal Child Nursing Care
Perry, Hockenberry · 7th Edition
Complete chapter-by-chapter study guide aligned with Maternal Child Nursing Care (7th Edition). Includes summaries, learning objectives, and NCLEX-style practice questions for all 50 chapters.
Overview
Maternal Child Nursing Care (7th Edition) spans the full continuum from maternity nursing through pediatric care, and its 50 chapters cover a lot of ground fast. This study guide is written from scratch to match the book chapter for chapter, so you review in the same order Perry and Hockenberry present the material and never lose track of where a topic fits. Each chapter gives you a plain-English summary of the key concepts, the learning objectives laid out up front, and NCLEX-style practice questions with a full rationale for every answer, so you learn why each option is right or wrong instead of memorizing a key. The maternity half walks you through 21st-century maternity nursing, the family and culture, the reproductive years, pregnancy and fetal development, prenatal care and nutrition, high-risk perinatal care, labor and birth and their complications, the postpartum period, and the normal and high-risk newborn. The pediatric half then moves through pediatric nursing foundations, growth and development, communication and physical assessment, pain management, health promotion from infancy through adolescence, chronic illness and hospitalization, and the body-system chapters on respiratory, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, hematologic, oncologic, genitourinary, cerebral, endocrine, musculoskeletal, neuromuscular, and integumentary dysfunction. Every unit is matched to the 7th Edition's numbering so your review stays perfectly in sync with lecture. As you study you'll practice prioritizing care, spotting complications early, and answering the application and analysis questions the NCLEX favors across both maternal and pediatric content. Whether you're prepping for a unit exam, a final, or reviewing maternal-child content before the licensure exam, this printable companion is built to be highlighted, annotated, and kept for your whole program. It aligns with the topics and sequence the textbook emphasizes without reproducing its content. Original, independently written, and not affiliated with the publisher.
Aligned with combined maternal-child nursing courses and written in an NCLEX-RN style — the practice questions mirror how maternity and pediatric content are tested on course exams and the licensure exam.
