Summary
"2006-2009 Clinical Practice Guidelines for Midwifery & Women's Health presents a compilation of current practices that includes evidence-based, traditional, and empiric care from a wide variety of sources. Each guideline moves through problem identification and treatment using a standardized format for day-to-day clinical practice with diverse populations. The guidelines are currently in use by many practices as a way of meeting the American College of Nurse-Midwives (ACNM) recommendations, and are acceptable for collaborative practice with physician colleagues."--BOOK JACKET
