Version 1: Topics cover the antepartal, intrapartal, postpartal, and neonatal phases of the childbearing family and women's gynecological health. Antepartal content includes normal development of pregnancy, prenatal nursing care and such high-risk conditions as premature rupture of membranes, and pregnancy induced hypertension, diabetes, and cardiac problems. Intrapartal content includes normal labor and delivery. Postpartal content includes normal postpartum care and complications such as hemorrhage, infection, and phlebitis. Newborn content includes normal newborn and nursing care. Complications such as prematurity, infection, and jaundice are presented. Clinical experiences augment instruction in each of these phases. They range from observation and participation in normal and high-risk prenatal care at an obstetrician's office and in a hospital setting, childbirth preparation classes, labor and delivery, caring for normal and high-risk infants in a hospital setting to assess the developmental differences between the normal newborn and those with problems. Students prepare a position paper on a current topic and a literature search to augment the lecture and regular clinical conferences. Version 2: All topics in Version 1; in addition, cultural diversity, alternative medicine, critical thinking scenarios, case studies.
