Take control of your own learning in this title for nurses and doctors. You'll be taught to solve practical problems and to take a simple, logical approach. Clear learning objectives help you understand the most important lessons to be learned. Theoretical knowledge is presented in an easy, problem-solving way. Clear, step-by-step guides through definitions, causes, diagnosis, prevention, dangers and management. Case studies in story-form let you apply your new knowledge to solve common problems. Multiple choice questions help you monitor your progress. This balanced and up-to-date guide can be used as a training course or as a reference manual for professionals and students. The five units cover the concept of mortality audit, the causes of maternal and perinatal mortality, the management of mortality meetings, and the use of the Perinatal Problem Identification Programme (PPIP). It addresses maternal, stillbirth and early neonatal mortality rates in cities, towns and rural areas, the causes and avoidable factors, and ways of preventing many of these deaths.
