ABSTRACT

To achieve equity in obstetric care, nurses need to understand maternal and infant mortality rates, recognize biases, and work to reduce them. Understanding the differences between equity, equality, justice, and inclusion is vital for delivering quality, individualized care that meets each patient’s unique needs. This article aims to offer a resource on equitable care principles and bias mitigation strategies in obstetric care.
