The comprehensive textbook Maternal-Child Nursing, 6th Edition delivers foundational instruction across women's health, maternity, and pediatric nursing care for nursing students. Published by Saunders, this edition by Emily Slone McKinney, Susan Rowen James, Sharon Smith Murray, Kristine Nelson, and Jean Ashwill organizes clinical concepts around childbearing families and developing pediatric patients.

The core narrative synthesizes key obstetrical and pediatric topics into structured learning units. Readers examine reproductive physiology, prenatal diagnostic procedures, intrapartum fetal surveillance, labor complications, and postpartum recovery. Parallel pediatric sections detail wellness assessment, developmental milestones from infancy through adolescence, pediatric pathophysiology, pharmacologic safety guidelines, and care for acute or chronic pediatric disorders.

As a central instructional feature, this resource incorporates Next Generation NCLEX examination-style case studies formatted as single-situation and unfolding scenarios. These interactive scenarios guide nursing students in practicing clinical judgment and applying nursing process steps throughout their maternal-child nursing coursework.
