Maternity and Women's Health Care, 13th Edition, provides comprehensive, evidence-based coverage of health care for women of childbearing age. This textbook addresses wellness promotion and the management of women's health problems alongside fundamental maternal and newborn nursing.

The text examines the continuum of care throughout pregnancy, labor, birth, the postpartum period, and neonatal life. Chapters explore family and cultural influences, reproductive health concerns such as contraception and infertility, and the assessment and management of high-risk pregnancies and perinatal loss.

To support clinical learning, this edition incorporates new case studies developed for the Next Generation NCLEX that focus on care prioritization and interprofessional practice.
