Publisher's Note
The third edition of this hefty and excellent textbook covers both maternity and pediatric nursing. A wealth of useful materials are incorporated using the online database and the CD-ROM, including video clips, animations, case studies with critical thinking questions, and an audio glossary that includes Spanish pronunciations. The text is designed with careful attention to the student's use, clearly incorporating helpful supplementary information in the form of inset boxes listing "critical to remember" points, drug guides, extensive nursing care plans, critical thinking exercises, key concepts, and additional reading. Each chapter begins with lists of its learning objectives, vocabulary and definitions, and the supplemental resources on the CD-ROM and online. Appendices contain growth charts, blood pressure levels by age and height, and other materials. There are four editors: McKinney (Baylor Healthcare System, Dallas, Texas); Susan Rowen James (Curry College, Milton, Mass.); Sharon Smith Murray (Golden West College, Huntington Beach, CA); and Jean Weiler Ashwill (U. of Texas at Arlington).
