NURS 35200 - Nursing Care of Women and Childbearing Families

The course focuses on the assessment, care, counseling, and education of women and childbearing families. Didactic and clinical learning opportunities focus on nursing practice with expectant mothers, neonates and their families in classroom and selected health care settings. This course provides the theoretical basis for the nursing management of healthy and high risk women and childbearing families. Standards and Guidelines for Professional Nursing Practice in the Care of Women and Newborns (7th edition) (2009) developed by the Association for Women’s Health, Obstetric and Neonatal Nursing will be utilized to emphasize the nurse’s key role in providing evidence-based care that is developmentally and culturally appropriate.
