Maternal-Newborn Nursing

Instructions : This assignment is broken into 2 parts and will be completed as an individual. Take a moment to read ALL instructions PRIOR to beginning this assignment.

Rationale : As a nurse and citizen of the world, you will come in contact with individuals that are different; different beliefs, different religions, different facial or body features, different needs, different desires, and so on.

This is your opportunity to learn about other humans and the field of nursing from a cultural perspective. 

Presentation : This is your opportunity to be creative.
