Prenatal care and multiple pregnancy.
Prenatal care of multiple pregnancy presents a variety of nursing challenges. Specialized care, beginning in early pregnancy, can have a significant impact on the outcome for mothers and neonates. Dramatically increasing roles for advanced technology in the care of multifetal pregnancies must be balanced with families' needs for education and support.
