NURS 5270 - Nurse-Midwifery III: Antepartum and Postpartum Care

This theoretical course examines the application of the midwifery management process in the provision of comprehensive women’s preconception, prenatal, and ambulatory postpartum care, with a focus on normal childbearing. It emphasizes the assessment for maternal/fetal well-being and ambulatory postpartum with screening for deviations from normal that would require consultation/collaboration and/or referral. Management strategies include diagnostics, non-pharmacologic therapies, pharmacologic therapies, and interprofessional relationships. Educational needs and social/cultural contexts are also included. Clinical skills will be practiced in simulated experiences.
