    • French
    La démarche de soins est une méthode qui engage le soignant dans un processus de résolution de problèmes. C'est un processus dynamique où les étapes se succèdent en fonction de l'évolution de l'état de santé de la personne soignée. Ces étapes sont en relation et sont tributaires les unes des autres : recueil de données, analyse et interprétation des données, planification des soins, réalisation des soins, évaluation et réajustement. Dans un premier temps la démarche de soins va donc permettre à l'étudiant d'évaluer une situation clinique, de concevoir et conduire un projet de soins infirmiers, de mettre en œuvre des soins curatifs, éducatifs et préventifs, de traiter les informations pour assurer la continuité des soins, d'organiser et coordonner les interventions soignantes, d'établir une relation soignant-soigné de qualité. Dans un second temps, l'étudiant infirmier devra faire une synthèse de cette situation, afin d'en simplifier la lecture et la transcription dans le dossier de soins infirmiers du patient. Cet ouvrage, illustré par de nombreux documents, applications, supports méthodologiques, offre un plan clair : - Approche de la situation du patient selon le modèle de Virginia Henderson. - Construction de la démarche de soins. - De la démarche de soins à la présentation synthétique. - Applications / entrainement. Toutes les applications illustrant l'ouvrage sont commentées, pour guider l'étudiant dans sa démarche de résolution. Complet et pédagogique, cet ouvrage est un instrument de méthodologie et de préparation indispensable à tous les étudiants en IFSI.
