"Varney's Midwifery is the gold standard for midwifery practice. Completely updated and revised, it reflects current evidence-based guidelines. The Sixth Edition addresses care of women throughout the lifespan, including primary care, gynecology, newborn care, and maternity care in a variety of birth settings. With chapters written by expert midwives with an emphasis on anatomy and physiology, this text will assist students and midwives in providing healthcare services for women today. In addition, chapter appendices are designed to help students, midwives, and international readers learn essential skills. These critical skills include vulvar biopsy, insertion of contraceptive devices, hand maneuvers for birth, management of a fetus in a breech presentation, and current evidence-based steps for managing postpartum hemorrhage"--Publisher's description.
