DB DB DB DB DB DB DB DB DB DB D B D B DB
both teamwork and communication with clinicians into her care delivery, The SBAR technique of com

munication is an easy-to- DB DB DB

The situation, background, assessment, recommendation (SBAR) technique provides a specific frame

Professional nurses are part of the team of health care providers who collaboratively care for patie DB DB DB DB DB DB DB DB DB DB D B D B DB D B D B
nts throughout the childbearing cycle. Providing care to patients directly at the bedside is one of the
DB DB DB DB DB DB DB DB DB DB DB DB DB DB DB DB DB
nurses tasks; however, it does not encompass the concept of the evolved professional nurse. Through
DB DB DB DB DB DB DB DB DB DB DB DB DB DB
out the prenatal period, nurses care for women in clinics and physicians offices and teach classes to

help families prepare for childbirth. Nurses also care for childbearing families in birthing centers an

d in the home. Nurses have been critically important in developing strategies to improve the well-
DB DB DB DB DB DB DB DB DB DB DB DB DB DB DB
being of women and their infants and have led the efforts to implement clinical practice guidelines usi

based approach. Maternity patients have experienced a decreased, rather than an increased, length of
