The text illustrates and elaborates onthe forms of knowledge used by nurses and concepts central to the art of nursing such as care, spirituality, presence, compassion, self-care and advocacy.

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.
