Synopsis
Varney's Midwifery continues to be the gold standard for midwifery practice in an updated seventh edition. New lead editors assembled a team of expert contributors and authors to continue the legacy of Varney's Midwifery as the trusted, must-have resource for students, professional midwifes, and women's health practitioners. Varney's Midwifery uses current evidence-based guidelines to address the care of women throughout the lifespan, including primary care, gynecology, maternity care in a variety of settings, and newborn care. The Seventh Edition reflects the new ACNM Core Competencies, including care of transgender individuals and abortion-related care, to prepare students for competence in the care of LGBTQ patients. It also provides updated information on chronic conditions in pregnancy including a section discussing COVID-19, new techniques for fetal screening, diagnosis across the lifespan, and updated content on health equity.
