Ces situations professionnelles sont analysées en quatre étapes, clairement exposées en tableaux très didactiques, qui rendent compte de la progression du raisonnement clinique infirmier. - Le volet S'ENTRAÎNER offre enfin de tester ses connaissances au moyen de QCM, QROC, etc. et de transférer ses connaissances à une situation nouvelle, permettant la transposition des savoirs dans un nouveau contexte.
