Answer: Unit 1: Introduction to Maternity, Newborn, and Women’s health Nursing

Unit 1 helps build a foundation for the student beginning with the study of

maternal–newborn and women’s health nursing by exploring contemporary

issues and trends and community-based nursing.

Unit 2: Women’s Health Throughout the Life Span

Unit 2 introduces the student to selected women’s health topics, including the

structure and function of the reproductive system, common reproductive

concerns, sexually transmitted infections, problems of the breast, and benign

disorders and cancers of the female reproductive tract. This unit encourages

students to assist women in maintaining their quality of life, reducing their risk

of disease, and becoming active partners in their own health promotion activities

and with their health care professional.

Unit 3: Pregnancy

Unit 3 addresses topics related to normal pregnancy, including fetal

development, genetics, and maternal adaptation to pregnancy. Nursing

management during normal pregnancy is presented in a separate chapter

encouraging application of basic knowledge to nursing practice. This nursing

care chapter covers maternal and fetal assessment throughout pregnancy,

interventions to promote self-care and minimize common discomforts, and client

education.

Unit 4: Labor and Birth

Unit 4 begins with a chapter on the normal labor and birth process, including

maternal and fetal adaptations. This is followed by a chapter discussing the

nurse’s role during normal labor and birth, which includes maternal and fetal

assessment, pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic comfort measures and pain

management, and specific nursing interventions during each stage of labor and

birth.
