A great, in-debth text for Maternity and Newborn Nursing. The CD provides only a few study questions per chapter and the study guide could be improved by incorporating more multiple choice questions.

As is the case with most of my nursing books, repetitive. Complicated concepts were poorly explained in many cases.
