Maternal & Child Health Nursing, North American Edition 10th Edition Authors: Melissa G. DeFoor, Amanda R. Hitt, JoAnne Silbert- Flagg Description Maternal & Child Health Nursing: Care of the Childbearing & Childrearing Family, 10th Edition , by DeFoor, Hitt, and Silbert-Flagg adds two new authors, both active nurse educators attuned to the current needs of maternal and child health nursing programs. This comprehensive text presents maternal-newborn and child health care not as separate disciplines, but as a unified continuum of knowledge that reflects how nurses care for families across the lifespan. Written specifically for today’s nursing students who face shortened clinical rotations and condensed course schedules, this edition addresses the critical need for one resource that seamlessly integrates maternity and pediatric content without redundancy. The 10th Edition solves key educational challenges by emphasizing person-centered care, clinical judgment development, and cultural awareness—essential skills for modern nursing practice.
