By Lisa Ferguson DNP APRN WHNP-BC CNE, Kelly Ellington DNP APRN WHNP-BC RNC-OB, Susan M. Kendig JD MSN RN WHNP BC FAANP and Sarah B. Freeman PhD ARNP FAANP

This brand-new textbook offers a solid, evidence-based clinical foundation for primary care of women for Nurse Practitioners, Physician Assistants, and other primary care practitioners who are responsible for women’s health. It is organized uniquely for consistency with the AWHONN/NPWH Guidelines for Practice and Education and has a holistic, woman centered focus. Basic principles of women’s health, care for well-being across the life course, and primary care management of common illnesses affecting women are all covered.

UNIQUE! The entire spectrum of fundamental women’s health content for primary care—including basic principles, well-woman care throughout the lifespan, and primary care management of common illnesses affecting women—is covered by a holistic, woman-centered approach to women’s health. UNIQUE! The most recent AWHONN/NPWH and national well-woman guidelines are used to arrange evidence-based information, which has a strong foundation in national and international clinical guidelines for women’s health as well as current research.

LGBTQ+ issues, global health, underserved populations, and care coordination across a continuum of services, including preventive, outpatient, inpatient acute hospital care, and post-acute care, including skilled nursing, rehabilitation, home health services, and palliative care, are examined with a strong emphasis on patient diversity, interprofessional collaboration, and clinical integration. Takeaways are presented in each chapter’s Key Points section. Not to Be Missed boxes highlight “red flags” that should not be ignored, such as breast lumps, HIV counseling/testing, indicators of human trafficking, and low back pain during pregnancy.

Patients in particular populations or circumstances, like as LGBTQ+ clients, persons with disabilities, older women, veterans of the military, people of different racial and ethnic backgrounds, people with varied religious and cultural practices, etc., can all benefit from customized care, as shown by Patient-Centered Care boxes. Safety Alert boxes draw attention to extra safety measures that should be taken to safeguard patients. The subjects covered in Clinical Survival Tip boxes are essential knowledge to have when working in a clinical environment. Learning is facilitated by pictures and designs in full color.
