      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, premier volume d'une série de deux consacrée à l'UE 2.7 Défaillances organiques et processus dégénératifs (S4), présente les mécanismes physiopathologiques de la dégénérescence d'un organe ou de la défaillance d'un appareil et décrit les signes, les risques, les complications et les thérapeutiques des pathologies étudiées. Structuré par spécialités médicales, rédigée chacune par des médecins et des infirmières spécialisés, ce volume 1 donne tout d'abord : - une vision intégrée des soins particuliers à dispenser aux patients ; - des rappels anatomiques et physiologiques en lien avec les défaillances organiques et dégénératives de chaque appareil ainsi que la présentation des principaux symptômes liés à ces pathologies et leurs explorations.

Toutes ces thématiques sont illustrées par de nombreux schémas et photographies en couleurs. Chaque pathologie est éclairée par des encadrés « Points clés », qui mettent en avant les notions fondamentales liées à la pathologie traitée, des fiches « Acte et/ou surveillance infirmiersSituation intégrative » qui mettent en évidence la conduite à tenir de l'infirmière auprès du patient.
