On ne le répétera jamais assez : les premières minutes sont capitales dans une situation d’urgence et savoir prendre les bonnes décisions, un enjeu de santé primordial. L’infirmier(e) doit pouvoir prodiguer les premiers soins d’urgence, dans l’attente de l’arrivée du médecin. La pratique de l’urgence ne se cantonnant d’ailleurs plus aux uniques urgences intra- et pré-hospitalières, l’évolution incessante de la pratique de soins contraint les infirmier(e)s et aides-soignant(e)s à intervenir dans des cas de pathologies aiguës, de plus en plus souvent hors du champ du centre hospitalier, et à décider du besoin d’une intervention médicale. Aussi, ces 100 fiches pratiques infirmières face aux situations d’urgence permettent à l’infirmier(e) d’identifier les symptômes et répondent parfaitement à la nécessité d’avoir une connaissance rapide des différentes pathologies rencontrées, dans le cadre de la législation et d’une conduite de bonnes pratiques. Claire, simple et pragmatique, chacune de ces fiches suit le même déroulé : • définition • diagnostic(s) infirmier(s) • prise en charge infirmière Et pour chaque fiche, le rôle de l’aide-soignant est mis en évidence, la bonne prise en charge d’un patient requérant une excellente coordination entre l’activité de l’infirmier(e) et celle de l’aide-soignant(e). Regroupées en 18 parties, notamment par spécialité, ces fiches sont toutes accompagnées d’un arbre décisionnel récapitulatif de la prise en charge infirmière. Les deux dernières parties sont consacrées spécifiquement aux problèmes médico-légaux, à la législation professionnelle et à un rappel des actes de soins infirmiers. Indispensable dans la pratique professionnel, ce livre outil – en couleurs et spiralé – est destiné aussi bien aux étudiant(e)s infirmier(e)s qu’aux infirmier(e)s diplômés d’État soucieux de prendre les bonnes décisions.

De nombreuses personnes ne peuvent plus s’exprimer par la parole, ni être comprises : personnes aphasiques, laryngectomisées, atteintes de maladies neurologiques invalidantes, d’autisme, ou encore hospitalisées en réanimation… sans oublier les personnes étrangères ne parlant pas le français. La communication est fondamentale dans la relation soignant-soigné : comment entrer en relation avec ces patients, réduire leur isolement, répondre à leurs besoins et les satisfaire ? Face à cette perte de communication orale (et parfois écrite), face à la détresse de ceux qui la subissent, l’auteur a eu l’idée d’instaurer un relais par le moyen de ce petit guide qui présente 140 pictogrammes en couleur correspondant : - à la toilette et au confort personnel (se laver, s’habiller…) ; - aux besoins quotidiens (s’alimenter, connaître l’heure…) ; - aux distractions (lire, regarder la télévision…) ; - à l’état du patient (avoir chaud/froid, être fatigué, avoir mal…) ; - à diverses demandes (vouloir voir sa famille, un médecin, un représentant religieux…). Pratique et adapté à une utilisation fréquente – plastifié, à spirale –, cet imagier est un support de communication et un outil pratique aussi bien pour les soignants que pour les patients et leur famille.
