Synopsis

This edition coincides with the practice guidelines regarding emergency approaches to women of reproductive age. The text focuses on preconceptual health care and is a starting point for prenatal and perinatal care. Designed to aid the physician and nurse reduce the incidence of disease, chronic disability and morbidity, the text emphasizes preventive medicine, increasing understanding of the potentials and limitations of preconceptual counselling. The opening chapters present the rationale and theory to this approach, and subsequent chapters are organized around broad areas of interest in the patient's profile: social history, nutrition history, medical history, infectious diseases and medication history. The introduction to each chapter ends with screening questions to be asked of patients presenting for counselling.
