About this book
Obstetrical Nursing identifies itself as a textbook on nursing care for the expectant mother, the woman in labor, the young mother and her baby. The discussion of eclampsia says that the lack of definite information about its cause produces some difference of opinion concerning the best methods of curative treatment. The account of prevention places first importance on watchfulness and care during the antenatal period.
Instructions for diapers specify soft, absorbent material with a loose weave, giving cheese cloth and thin Turkish towelling among the examples. Directions for putting on a diaper describe folding the square diagonally, bringing the fold around the baby’s waist, and securing the overlapping corners with a safety pin. The discussion of pregnancy complications identifies toxemias, premature terminations of pregnancy and hemorrhage as principal conditions amenable to preventive or early treatment.
