Textbook of obstetrics and obstetric nursing

Since this textbook, specifically directed to nurses, is in its fourth edition 14 years after its first appearance, it may be considered to be successful. It is distressing, therefore, to find it replete with inaccuracies (eg, diuril prevents gastrointestinal absorption of sodium); inconsistencies (eg, differing incidences of home delivery, on pp 291 and 318 ); anachronisms (eg, heart disease as an indication for cesarean section ); pointless repetition ( eg, three x-ray photographs of anencephaly, two identical); and triviality (eg, For the comfort of the patient and to prevent burns the [perineal flush] water should not be too hot.). What is of greater concern, however, is the general tone of the book, which might be characterized as both superficial and folksy. In discussing the use of chloroform, for example, the authors state that it can cause suspended animation, when they mean death, and they advise that the drug be given with prayer. They

Obstetrical Practice

This popular textbook of obstetrics has been extensively rewritten, and many new illustrations have been added. The physiology of reproduction and the early development of the embryo have been brought up-to-date by the addition of pertinent new information. The management of normal pregnancy including nutrition has been expanded to conform to the changing pattern of obstetric care. The diagnosis and treatment of the complications of pregnancy are discussed in the light of new developments in medicine. One of the most useful features of this book is the detailed description of the mechanisms of labor in the various presentations and positions. Each step is illustrated by simple drawings to enable the student to follow the action easily. Such emphasis on basic principles in obstetrics is sound teaching. Unfortunately, this author, like so many others, did not dare to omit those practices and procedures made obsolete by medical progress. As an example,
