Written for undergraduate nursing students and nursing educators, Maternity and Pediatric Nursing, 5th Edition, delivers integrated instruction across maternal, newborn, and child health care. Authors Susan Scott Ricci, Terri Kyle, and Susan Carman provide a structured framework designed to build essential clinical knowledge across diverse care environments.

The text synthesizes key clinical domains, beginning with women's health across the lifespan, fetal development, genetics, and labor management. It transitions into postpartum care, newborn risk management, and child growth tracking from infancy through adolescence. Additional chapters examine pediatric health assessment, health supervision, pain management, and acute health alterations such as gas exchange or perfusion disorders.

To support practical decision-making, the volume includes Unfolding Patient Stories developed with the National League for Nursing and integrated with vSim for Nursing Maternity and Pediatrics. This textbook provides structured instructional support for core nursing courses focused on family-centered care.
