Created specifically for today’s LPN/LVN students, Introductory Maternity & Pediatric Nursing, 6th Edition, delivers clear, visually engaging, and clinically relevant coverage of pregnancy, birth, and pediatric care. Focused on safe, effective practice, the text builds essential clinical judgment and critical thinking skills while preparing students for success on the NCLEX-PN® exam and in clinical settings.
Integrated case studies, in-patient scenarios, and structured nursing care plans help students understand and apply the full scope of patient care, including assessment, prioritization, interventions, and outcomes. Expanded unfolding case studies in Unit 10 (The Child with a Health Disorder) provide deeper opportunities to practice recognizing and analyzing cues, prioritizing hypotheses, taking action, and evaluating outcomes — mirroring NextGen NCLEX expectations.
Patient-centered care is further strengthened through Personal Glimpse narratives, which offer first-person perspectives that build empathy and deepen understanding of patient and family experiences. A built-in workbook reinforces learning with NCLEX-style questions, study activities, and clinical judgment exercises, while digital resources, including review questions and video clips, support exam readiness and a smooth transition to practice.
