Gynecologic Health Care: With an Introduction to Prenatal and Postpartum Care

Gynecologic Health Care: With an  Introduction to Prenatal and Postpartum Care continues to set the  standard for evidence-based gynecologic health care and well-being in an  extensively updated fourth edition. As in prior editions, the text  presents gynecologic health care using a holistic and person-centered  approach. Encompassing both health promotion and management of  gynecologic conditions, it provides clinicians and students with a  strong foundation in gynecologic care and the knowledge necessary to  apply it in clinical practice. With an emphasis on the importance of  respecting the normalcy of physiology, it is an essential reference for  all midwives, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and other  clinicians who provide gynecologic health care. Written by award-winning  clinicians and educators, Gynecologic Health Care covers the topics  clinicians and students need to know. Additional chapters provide an  overview of prenatal and postpartum care, including anatomic and  physiologic adaptations of normal pregnancy and common complications of  pregnancy. The Fourth Edition features three new chapters: racism and  health disparities, male sexual and reproductive health, and  preconception care.
