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 excellent research based textbook addresses nursing care issues rather than disease processes and therefore looks at issues such as discharge planning, adolescents and cancer, coping strategies for family and staff. It concentrates on the psychological and social aspects of care and reflects the radical changes that have occurred in recent years in thisfield. These include better survival rates in childhood cancer, advanced therapies, the move to community based care and increasing awareness of the long term effects of treatment.All post-graduate nurses working with children with cancer, whether in a community or hospital setting will find this text invaluable. It will equally benefit post-graduate nurses studying professional and academic specialist courses such as the ENB 240 paediatric oncology course or those who are already qualified paediatric oncology nurses but who need to keep themselves updated or need a reference in this area.

This book brings together a collection of the author's papers which, when taken as a whole, address many of the mostpressing issues in psychiatric nursing today. The papers are linked and present the 'backbone' of the author's philosophy of nursing. Each of the chapters deals either with the search to define the theoretical and practical basis of psychiatric nursing, or addresses more general issues in nursing which have some specific bearing on the practice of psychiatric nursing. Each chapter is followed by an invited commentary from respected psychiatric nurses, who were given the brief to draw out some of the main points of the chapter and put them in focus for today's nurses.
