Video/DVD Suggestions, Please! Postpartum

Specialties Educators

Published

Can anyone suggest a good video or DVD that teaches nursing students how to do a postpartum exam? Our old video has finally "died" and it's time to replace it.

I have my students purchase Mosby's Nursing Video Skills: Maternal-Newborn & Women's Health. It is very affordable, about $40; I have it bundled into a package that students purchase with their text. Anyway, the reason I like it is that students can watch the videos (most are short, around 3-5 minutes) again and again on their own time. If they don't personally have a DVD-Rom......all of the computers at our college do. It covers not only postpartum skills, but also antepartum, intrapartum and newborn skills. Also, it contains printable PDF documents on the preparation, follow-up and documentation of each skill. It's nice! It came out new in 2007. You might be able to get a (free) copy to evaluate by requesting it from elsevier.com. The ISBN is 0-323-04569-3.

Addendum: I just looked at the instructions and you can actually use it in a regular DVD player, using up and down arrows to navigate the menu! Who knew (not me)?
