This Junior-level course builds on previous learning that applies the nursing process in the holistic, compassionate care of the childbearing family. Evidence-based principles and beginning skills in clinical reasoning are addressed when examining health promotion of the childbearing family from pre-conception through the post-partum period. Common complications of pregnancy, labor, birth, postpartum, and the neonate are analyzed. Legal, ethical, and social justice issues unique to maternal-newborn nursing are discussed. Principles related to advocacy, collaboration, and quality improvement are examined as they apply to the delivery of safe and effective nursing care.
