Clinical Guidelines

All Certified Nurse‑Midwives standards for practice should reflect practice as defined by the American College of Nurse‑Midwives’ two core documents, (a) the Standards for the Practice of Midwifery and (b) Core Competencies for Basic Midwifery Practice. The day-to-day practice of medicine, nurse‑midwifery, and health care in general rapidly changes with advancing science, pharmacotherapeutics, and technology. It is therefore the responsibility of the clinician to remain current with management of those under their care. Resources for management may include but are not limited to: UpToDate; ACOG and ACNM publications; Varney’s Midwifery; and Clinical Practice Guidelines for Midwifery & Women’s Health, 5th Ed. Care provided may deviate from recommended standards based on collaboration with physicians considering unique needs and desires of the patient and documented as such.
