“This book is a user-friendly resource for maternal–newborn nurses, especially those who are new to the specialty. It’s ideal because it’s truly hands-on; it’s light and fits in a scrub pocket (I tried it!). Chapters are clearly defined and divided by tabs that make it easy to find a topic. Information is presented succinctly in outline form and each chapter includes tables, photos, and illustrations. It’s written clearly and doesn’t overuse medical terminology. Included are tools on commonly used medications, metric and newborn weight conversions, and simple English–Spanish translations.” —AJN

“This small, well-organized book is the most clinically useful and complete resource that I use in my practice—and I use it often! Its early incorporation of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) content is invaluable. Diagnostic criteria and psychotropic medication layouts are exceptional, and make complex clinical work a bit easier.” —AJN
