This course provides theory and related clinical practice to assist the student in meeting the short term selfcare needs of the woman and newborn infant. Theory addresses the normal and pathophysiological processes in relation to women and their health, self-care practices that support a developmental environment for the growing fetus and newborn and the supportive educative role of the nurse.
