    • English
    Awarded first place in the 2019 AJN Book of the Year Awards in the Gerontologic Nursing category second place in the Advanced Practice Nursing category. Gain expert primary care of older adults with a case-based approach to geriatric primary care and multimorbidity management Written by two leading academic and clinical experts in geriatric primary care, Case Studies in Geriatric Primary Care and Multimorbidity Management, 1st Edition uses detailed Exemplar Case Studies and Practice case studies to teach you how to think like an expert geriatric clinician. Because most older adults have more than one condition when seeking care, both Exemplar and Practice Case Studies place a strong emphasis on "multimorbidity" management, (the management of patients with a host of complex, interacting conditions). To provide extensive practice in learning how to think like an expert, case studies reflect the reality that care does not necessarily begin or end in the primary care setting, cases move fluidly from primary care to acute care to inpatient rehabilitation to assisted living to long-term care. Building on foundational introductory chapters, cases also call on you to develop interprofessional collaboration skills and reflect the diversity of today's older adults, in terms of age (young-old to old-old), gender, culture, ethnicity, sexuality, socioeconomic status, and more! As you work through both basic-level and advanced Practice Case Studies, you can make extensive notes in the printed book and then go online to submit answers for grading and receive expert feedback for self-reflection.

  • La qualité du soin infirmier

    De la réflexion éthique à une pratique de qualité
    • 3rd Edition
    • Walter Hesbeen
    • French
    Une pratique infirmière de qualité peut se définir comme une pratique conforme aux exigences établies pour ce type de pratique en un lieu donné. S’il y a des exigences de nature formelle, en particulier réglementaires, scientifiques et techniques, il y a également des exigences « conceptuelles ». Ces dernières sont issues de la réflexion menée sur la pratique infirmière, les enjeux qui y sont associés, la visée éthique dans laquelle on souhaite l’inscrire, la dynamique que l’on décide de lui insuffler en vue de la voir se développer, de l’affiner, sans négliger l’indispensable complémentarité avec les autres professionnels ainsi que l’harmonie de ce qu’ensemble ils mettent en œuvre. Si la démarche qualité nécessite de satisfaire à des exigences formelles, Walter Hesbeen montre ici toute l’ambition qui devrait également l’animer en vue d’une pratique quotidienne riche, humainement juste et, à ce titre, singulière, subtile, sensible et créative. Pour l’auteur, il s’agit de prendre en compte deux composantes essentielles. La première est la volonté de faire exister le patient et ses proches en tant que sujets dans la relation de soin et d’agir sur tout ce qui favorise une telle volonté ou qui pourrait l’en empêcher. La seconde est la nécessité de déployer une véritable éthique de l’organisation afin de proposer tant aux professionnels qu’à la population des atmosphères apaisantes pour des pratiques performantes, mais aussi et surtout humainement pertinentes. Agir pour la qualité du soin infirmier consiste ainsi non seulement à veiller à la conformité par rapport aux aspects formels, mais également à oser une ambition qui précise la perspective dans laquelle on veut inscrire la pratique infirmière et qui témoigne de la prise en compte de la dignité des personnes soignées. C’est parce que le souci de la dignité concerne chacun dans sa pratique du quotidien que cet ouvrage s’adresse à tous les professionnels et étudiants de la santé en recherche d’un soin de qualité.

  • Implications of Disaster Preparedness for Nursing, An Issue of Nursing Clinics of North America

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 51-4
    • Deborah J. Persell
    • English
    According to the Center for Research and Epidemiology of Disasters, the frequency and severity of disasters has increased over 300% in the last decade. Healthcare systems and individual healthcare practitioners, including nurses, are now fulfilling multiple roles in disaster preparedness in the whole of community: planning, preparedness, risk identification, mitigation, response and recovery. Nurses are considered first responders for biological events or when the disaster occurs where they are working. Nurses act as first receivers when accepting patients/victims for care whose injuries result from non-biological events occurring outside the nurse’s workplace. The vast majority of practicing nurses received no disaster preparedness education in their basic nursing education program. Nurses graduating in the 21st century are exposed to some of the concepts of disaster nursing but have little experience unless there is a disaster or emergency where they work or go to school. Readers will be updated on this topic because articles in this edition demonstrate a vast array of implications for nurses in disaster preparedness around the world: chemical, biological, radiological/nuclear... explosives (CBRNE); natural disasters; new models of training and educating nurses for disasters, military nurse response, mental health issues as well as non-government organizations.

    • French
    L’adulte hospitalisé : travailler avec la famille et l’entouragedonne aux soignants des outils pour se positionner face à une problématique essentielle et quotidienne : la place et le rôle de la famille et des proches lors de l’hospitalisation d’un adulte. Quels sont les droits de la famille ? Quels sont ses devoirs ? Comment accueillir la famille dans les unités de soins ?

  • Le mémoire de fin d'études des étudiants en soins infirmiers

    Se révéler l'auteur de sa pensée
    • 1st Edition
    • Walter Hesbeen + 1 more
    • French
    Le mémoire de fin d’études des étudiants en soins infirmiers se présente comme un exercice pédagogique par lequel l’étudiant se met en recherche. Le mémoire l’invite ainsi à revêtir les habits de l’explorateur en vue de voir un peu plus clair dans une question qu’il se pose, dans une situation qui l’a plus particulièrement interpellé. Il a pour point de départ un objet que l’étudiant choisit librement pour les interrogations qu’il suscite, les étonnements qu’il provoque voire les énigmes que, pour lui, il contient. La finalité poursuivie par le travail de cet objet n’est pas de produire de nouveaux savoirs mais bien, prioritairement, d’aider l’étudiant, sujet de son mémoire, à déployer son intelligence, à élever sa pensée, à affiner son raisonnement. La seconde finalité est celle de développer sa capacité de nommer de manière juste et personnelle et d’exprimer de manière rigoureuse et élégante ce que sa démarche lui a permis de découvrir, de clarifier, de préciser, et ce dans la perspective de sa future pratique d’infirmière ou d’infirmier. Le mémoire permet ainsi à l’étudiant de se familiariser davantage avec des outils ou méthodes, en particulier le recours aux bases de données en vue de la recherche documentaire, tout comme la préparation et l’exploitation d’entretiens avec des témoins privilégiés qui sont les principales méthodes présentées dans cet ouvrage. Pour les enseignants, les formateurs et les bibliothécaires-docu... le mémoire constitue l’occasion d’accompagner pas à pas la démarche entreprise, de l’éclairer et, ainsi, de proposer aux étudiants leur professionnalisme pédagogique, celui qui permet d’élever leur réflexion, de libérer leur pensée et de s’exprimer avec toute la rigueur et la sensibilité que requiert l’exercice de leur futur métier d’infirmière ou d’infirmier.
