    Les difficultés de compréhension de l’écrit sont souvent dues à une représentation erronée de l’énoncé. La lecture n’est pas mise en doute mais la compréhension est perturbée, engendrant parfois des interprétations fantaisistes. Ce livre a donc pour objectif d’aider les enfants, mais aussi les adultes et les adolescents, pour lesquels l’accès à la compréhension de l’écrit est encore difficile. Saisir le sens d’une recette de cuisine pour la réaliser, arriver à bonne destination sans se perdre en suivant un itinéraire, monter un meuble selon les directives de la notice, saisir un message publicitaire, comprendre une directive, lire une interview dans un journal… sont des enjeux importants pour la vie quotidienne. À travers 120 exercices, cet ouvrage donne les clés de compréhension des différents types de textes : narratif, descriptif, informatif et argumentatif. Chaque texte est accompagné de deux images et le lecteur devra établir un lien pertinent entre l'énoncé et le dessin correspondant. Les énoncés sont suivis de questions de deux ordres : les unes pour s'assurer que la cohérence du texte a bien été établie et obliger le lecteur à avoir une démarche de compréhension ; d'autres qui sollicitent le jugement du lecteur en lui faisant faire le lien entre ce qu'il lit, ce qu'il sait, ce qu'il vit (ou a vécu) et l’invitent à donner son opinion. Un minisite, accompagnant l’ouvrage, contient tous les exercices et permet au professionnel d'imprimer séparément chaque fiche d'exercice. Cette nouvelle édition s'enrichit d'une vingtaine d'exercices et de la mise à jour des bases théoriques.

  • 100 fiches pratiques infirmières face aux situations d'urgence

    Les premiers gestes en attendant le médecin
    • 1st Edition
    • Enrique Casalino + 1 more
    • French
    On ne le répétera jamais assez : les premières minutes sont capitales dans une situation d’urgence et savoir prendre les bonnes décisions, un enjeu de santé primordial. L’infirmier(e) doit pouvoir prodiguer les premiers soins d’urgence, dans l’attente de l’arrivée du médecin. La pratique de l’urgence ne se cantonnant d’ailleurs plus aux uniques urgences intra- et pré-hospitalières, l’évolution incessante de la pratique de soins contraint les infirmier(e)s et aides-soignant(e)s à intervenir dans des cas de pathologies aiguës, de plus en plus souvent hors du champ du centre hospitalier, et à décider du besoin d’une intervention médicale. Aussi, ces 100 fiches pratiques infirmières face aux situations d’urgence permettent à l’infirmier(e) d’identifier les symptômes et répondent parfaitement à la nécessité d’avoir une connaissance rapide des différentes pathologies rencontrées, dans le cadre de la législation et d’une conduite de bonnes pratiques. Claire, simple et pragmatique, chacune de ces fiches suit le même déroulé : • définition • diagnostic(s) infirmier(s) • prise en charge infirmière Et pour chaque fiche, le rôle de l’aide-soignant est mis en évidence, la bonne prise en charge d’un patient requérant une excellente coordination entre l’activité de l’infirmier(e) et celle de l’aide-soignant(e). Regroupées en 18 parties, notamment par spécialité, ces fiches sont toutes accompagnées d’un arbre décisionnel récapitulatif de la prise en charge infirmière. Les deux dernières parties sont consacrées spécifiquement aux problèmes médico-légaux, à la législation professionnelle et à un rappel des actes de soins infirmiers. Indispensable dans la pratique professionnel, ce livre outil – en couleurs et spiralé – est destiné aussi bien aux étudiant(e)s infirmier(e)s qu’aux infirmier(e)s diplômés d’État soucieux de prendre les bonnes décisions.
