Midwifery Casebook, 6/E: A Practical Record of Maternal and Newborn Nursing for GNM Students | Clinical Logbook as per Revised INC Syllabus with Prenatal, Intranatal and Postnatal Case Studies

Midwifery Casebook, 6th Edition is a practical record book that helps GNM students plan, provide, and document nursing care for mothers and newborns across every stage of the maternity cycle. Structured as a ready-to-use clinical logbook, it combines concise theory notes with dedicated formats for logging procedures and writing up full case studies, so students can move directly from bedside observation to a completed clinical record. The book is organized into five sections: Notes on Midwifery, Nursing Diagnoses (Selected Few), Clinical Nursing Procedures (Selected Few), a Midwifery Record section with 8 separate procedure logs, and a Care Studies section carrying 55 individually formatted case studies spanning prenatal, intranatal, postnatal, high-risk neonatal, and IUCD-insertion care. Throughout the notes sections, content is organized with bulleted clinical points, comparative tables (such as the features of the four types of pelvis, and true versus false labor pains), and labeled illustrations (including a fundal-height-by-week chart), giving students a quick-reference layer alongside the record-keeping formats. Institution-name and candidate-name fields are printed on the cover, confirming its use as an official clinical submission record. Who This Book Is For: GNM Students: use this record book throughout maternity and child health nursing clinical postings to log antenatal examinations, deliveries, procedures, and complete case studies for prenatal, intranatal, postnatal, and neonatal clients. GNM 3rd Year Students: a ready structure for the clinical case-study and record-keeping requirements typically completed during the maternal and newborn nursing clinical rotation. Why This Book Helps: Structures clinical documentation: standardized logs and case-study formats replace ad hoc note-taking, so records stay consistent and submission-ready. Bridges theory and practice: concise Notes on Midwifery, Nursing Diagnoses, and Clinical Nursing Procedures sections reinforce the concepts students apply while completing each case study.
