      Pendant la formation préparant au diplôme d'Etat d'infirmier, le calcul de doses est évalué de façon transversale au cours des évaluations théoriques, des épreuves de mise en situation professionnelle et au cours de l'épreuve finale du DE. En effet, l'infirmier(e), au cours de ses études, puis de son exercice professionnel, est amené(e) à administrer des médicaments sur prescription médicale, et le calcul de doses, des débits ainsi que l'administration de ces thérapeutiques engagent sa responsabilité, d'où l'importance de maîtriser parfaitement ce type de calculs. Cet ouvrage de méthodologie et d'entraînement a pour but d'aider les étudiants à comprendre comment résoudre ces problèmes et réussir tous ces calculs. Il leur permettra d'intégrer, par étapes progressives, les concepts mathématiques de base en liaison avec les situations professionnelles. Cette nouvelle édition propose : - un rappel sur la responsabilité professionnelle lors de l'administration des médicaments, - des repères méthodologiques sur la résolution des problèmes avec des exercices d'application, - des exercices d'auto-évaluation offrant trois types d'entraînement de difficulté croissante: questions-réponses, mini cas concrets et cas cliniques resituant l'infirmier(e) dans une situation professionnelle réelle, - des fiches-outils rappelant les opérations mathématiques indispensables. Complet et pédagogique, cet ouvrage est un instrument de révision et de préparation indispensable à tous les étudiants en IFSI.

      Patient safety is important to all health professionals, but fatal accidents occur with medical devices every year. This is the first book for people who use medical equipment, rather than for engineers or technicians. It will help personnel within healthcare to avoid accidents by bridging the gap between the design principles and the user. The book encourages safe use of a wide range of equipment, from simple thermometers and blood-pressure cuffs to complex equipment such as pacemakers, ventilators and patient monitors.

      This title is directed primarily towards health care professionals outside of the United States. It departs from the usual principles-based approach and instead takes a predominantly consequentialist (harms and benefits) approach. It aims to be free of abstract philosophy, but will use the analysis of cases and a reasoned approach to examine alternative arguments. Whilst the book deals with issues in some depth it uses plain language and many clear examples of good and less good practice to illustrate points. It is at a level useful to both beginning and more experienced researchers.
