Provide the best care possible with expert insight and clinically relevant coverage of the physiologic changes that occur throughout all
major periods of the perinatal experience - prenatal, intrapartum, postpartum, and neonatal. This text provides a solid foundation for
assessment and therapeutic interventions, featuring an emphasis on the evolving interrelationships between mother, fetus, and neonate
and adaptations of preterm and term infants to the extrauterine environment. This edition offers a new chapter on fetal assessment and
surveillance, as well as expanded coverage of the physiologic basis for reproduction.
