Overview

Silbert-Flagg's Maternal & Child Health Nursing: Care of the Childbearing & Childrearing Family (9th Edition) is a comprehensive maternity and pediatric nursing text used widely in undergraduate programs, covering nursing care across reproductive health, pregnancy, birth, the postpartum period, the newborn, and child development through adolescence. This study guide is built to match it chapter for chapter, so you study in the same order your professor teaches — from the framework for maternal and child health nursing and reproductive and genetic care through normal and complicated pregnancy, labor and birth, postpartum and newborn care, growth and development, and the nursing care of ill and high-risk children. You get the priority concepts, key nursing interventions, and the must-know assessment and safety points, plus NCLEX-style practice that mirrors how maternity and pediatric nursing are tested. It is an independent, aligned study aid — not the textbook itself and not a reproduction of it — designed to help you focus on high-yield material and prepare efficiently for exams.

Aligned with undergraduate maternity and pediatric nursing courses and written in an NCLEX-style, mirroring how maternal-newborn and child health nursing care are tested on course exams and the licensure exam.
