Maternity and Pediatric Nursing – 4th Edition

Maternity and Pediatric Nursing

Title: Maternity and Pediatric Nursing Edition: Fourth Edition Authors: Susan Scott Ricci • Terri Kyle • Susan Carman Publisher: Wolters Kluwer

Cover Design: The background transitions from a soft, airy white at the top — with a faint watercolor-like wash of pastel yellow, blue, and green — into the warm, naturally lit photography below. "FOURTH EDITION" appears in small gray caps at the top right. The title is set in large, warm purple display type in the upper portion, with "Maternity and" in a lighter weight and "Pediatric Nursing" in bold — a subtle typographic distinction echoing the two clinical areas the book covers. The three authors' names appear in hot pink/magenta caps below the title, and the Wolters Kluwer logo anchors the bottom left.

Cover Photography: A beautifully warm and tender photograph of a pregnant woman in a light blue cardigan sitting with a young girl — likely her daughter — who gazes up at her with a bright, joyful expression while resting a hand on the expectant mother's rounded belly. The woman smiles down at the child, their connection palpable and genuine. The image is softly lit, emotionally resonant, and captures the essence of both the maternity and pediatric focus of the text — the continuum of care from pregnancy through childhood.

About the Book: A comprehensive combined maternity and pediatric nursing textbook covering women's health, pregnancy, labor and delivery, postpartum care, newborn care, and pediatric nursing across the full continuum of family-centered care.

Audience: Undergraduate nursing students in maternity and pediatric nursing courses.
