L'objectif des Cahiers des Sciences Infirmières est d'offrir aux étudiants en IFSI des ouvrages complets et détaillés couvrant l'ensemble des savoirs définis dans les Unités d'Enseignement (UE) du nouveau référentiel. Ce cahier, consacré à l'UE 2.11 Pharmacologie et thérapeutiques, correspond étroitement au nouveau programme (semestres 1, 3 et 5). Il explicite les modalités, les risques et les dangers de l'administration médicamenteuse à travers : - les principes de chimie pertinents ; - la définition, la classification et le développement du médicament ; - les notions de pharmacodynamie et de pharmacocinétique ; - les voies d'administration et les formes pharmaceutiques ; - la préparation et l'administration des médicaments. L'UE est aussi centrée sur la connaissance des familles thérapeutiques : les antibiotiques, la chimiothérapie anticancéreuse, les psychotropes, les anticoagulants et antiagrégants plaquettaires, les anti-inflammatoires stéroïdiens et non stéroïdiens, les antalgiques et les anesthésiques. Cet ouvrage aborde enfin la responsabilité infirmière à travers : - les effets iatrogènes et la pharmacodépendance ; - les particularités de l'administration médicamenteuse chez les enfants et les personnes âgées ; - la prescription médicale et son application par l'infirmière ; - la réglementation concernant les médicaments listés et les stupéfiants ; - le circuit du médicament. Toutes ces thématiques sont illustrées par de nombreux schémas et photographies en couleurs. De nombreuses fiches de prescription « Pharmacologie » décrivent le rôle infirmier : administration, surveillance, contre-indications, éducation-conseils aux patients. Tout au long de l'ouvrage, de nombreuses fiches « Acte et/ou surveillance infirmiers » décrivent les différents soins et des fiches « Situation intégrative » mettent en évidence la conduite à tenir de l'infirmière auprès du patient. Certains chapitres se terminent par une rubrique « Situation clinique » exposant et analysant, de manière détaillée, un cas concret en rapport avec la thématique proposée dans le chapitre. Et en fin d'ouvrage, un Cahier d'entraînement permet à l'étudiant de tester ses connaissances et de s'entraîner à l'analyse de situations intégratives.

This book will cover four of the major strands of the courses taught to medical undergraduates under the umbrella terms of epidemiology and public health. Namely mainstream epidemiology, critical appraisal of medical evidence or evidence based medicine, population based issues such as communicable disease and environmental hazard, and the provision of health care. In the new curricula, these courses tend to occur in years one or two, and are often, together with behavioural sciences and primary care, partof larger courses called something like "Human Basis of Medicine" or "Medicine and Society".Greater importance is being placed on these topics than previously, and this, together with the fashion for evidence-based medicine, will ensure that the subject has a higher exam priority for students than in the past. Currently available books tend to be biased towards epidemiology or towards public health, thus necessitating the purchase of two books rather than one, and none offers the integrated approach at alevel suitable for undergraduates which is a feature of our book.

There are plenty of MCQ books around but most combine mainstream subjects such as gastroenterology and renal medicine, which most Senior House Officers find relatively straightforward. Few MCQ books, however, focus on the subjects that many candidates find difficult those in which they are least likely to have had good clinical experience. Infectious disease, haematology and clinical chemistry are three such subjects. Candidates feel uneasy about tackling MCQs in these areas, and these questions often become the deciders leading to success or failure. This new book from Galvani et al contains 150 five-part MCQs with full answers and explanations, for these three difficult areas.
