Guidelines for Nurse Practitioners in Gynecologic Settings, 13th Edition

Now in its 13th edition, this comprehensive, one-step guide to the assessment and management of gynecological health is updated with a broad trove of new evidence-based information to promote the highest standards of clinical practice. Several new features include updated information on substance use, mental health conditions, and safe practices for clinicians post-COVID-19, plus new chapters on telehealth, treating special populations, and pharmacology issues specific to women. With contributions from expert practitioner/educators, this edition encompasses key guidelines reflecting the most current best practices and two features designed to facilitate student learning and enhance primary care–30 case studies with Q&A for 15 chapters and updated education handouts for input into electronic health records. The three principal authors of the guidelines are women’s health NPs who have practiced for decades in a variety of public health, private, and community-based settings, including obstetrical, gynecologic, primary care, family planning, adolescent care, and sexual and gender minority healthcare settings. Guidelines are organized in concise outline format to promote easy access to commonly occurring gynecologic issues and clinical conditions. In addition to its value for clinicians specializing in the comprehensive care of women and individuals across the lifespan, this resource will be an asset to all graduate nursing programs preparing nurse practitioners in women’s and gender-related health.
