Guidelines for Nurse Practitioners in Ambulatory Obstetric Settings

Description

Praise for the First Edition: "This is a concise, yet comprehensive book. I would recommend that any advanced practice nurse working in obstetrics have it on the bookshelf. It could also be used as a protocol manual for small practices." Score: 100, 5 Stars ―Doody's Medical Reviews Now in its third edition, this remains the only comprehensive source of current, evidence-based information for busy nurse practitioners and related professionals who provide preconception, prenatal, and postpartum care in outpatient settings. This resource encompasses essential clinical topics and practice standards in an easy-to-read, outline format with a convenient spiral binding. The third edition presents important new information on Thyroid Disorders in Pregnancy, COVID-19 during Pregnancy and Lactation, Rural Maternity Services, Utilization of Telehealth Services in Pregnancy, Adverse Child Experiences, LGBTQ Considerations, Genetic Counseling, and more. Additionally, unique topics of emerging clinical relevance address the complex and evolving nature of prenatal care in the 21st century, such as the latest trends in preterm labor prevention, disaster planning, managing exposure to the Zika virus, obesity, dermatoses, and HIV in pregnancy.
