About This 3rd Edition
Designed for Canadian registered nursing and practical nursing students, this edition provides a structured resource for understanding nursing care across childbearing and childhood within family and community contexts.
Perry’s Maternal Child Nursing Care in Canada brings maternity and pediatric nursing together within a Canadian practice context. Its structure follows reproductive health, pregnancy, labour, the postpartum period, and newborn care before turning to childhood development and pediatric illness. Families, culture, and community care provide a context for both parts of the text. Coverage includes pregnancy risk factors, fetal surveillance, newborn adaptation, developmental assessment, and health concerns affecting major pediatric body systems. Family-centred discussions, clinical reasoning cases, and evidence-informed features connect nursing knowledge with care situations. Attention to atraumatic care, communication, and hospitalization also highlights the different needs of children and their families.
