Clinical Practice Guidelines for Midwifery and Women s Health is an up-to-date, quick reference guide to midwifery and the care of women. This text presents a compilation of current practices that include evidence-based, traditional, and empiric care from a wide variety of sources. Each Guideline moves through problem identification and treatment using a standardized format for day-to-day clinical practice with diverse populations. Designed as a working practice tool that will reflect your individual practice, the Guidelines may be customized further with dated and initialed written additions, deletions, or use of a highlighter.
I have the 4th ed (trades in my 3rd Ed) and the biggest change is that it's been updated to include a whole host of primary care issues. I use this book all the time, found it was great when studying for comps and plan to use it when studying for boards. Great, concise, thorough guidelines. Always includes some alternative management options. Great for quick reference on management.
