Il/elle trouvera aussi un encadré « rôle propre infirmier » avec la description de ce que l'on attend de l'infirmier(e) au sein de l'équipe soignante.

Fruit d'un travail collectif, cet ouvrage a été rédigé conjointement par des médecins, infirmiers, psychologues et paramédicaux, sous la coordination d'une équipe pluridisciplinaire (infirmier, médecin, directeur d'établissement) impliquée dans les soins gérontologiques et leur enseignement.
