    • 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.

    • English
    Formerly entitled Occupational Therapy and Physical Dysfunction this seminal textbook builds on the strengths of all previous editions and continues to explore the work of occupational therapists with people who are experiencing illness, injury or impairment. It links theory with day-to-day practice, stimulating reflection on the knowledge, expertise and attitudes that inform practice, and encouraging the development of occupation-focused practice.The new title, Occupational Therapy for People Experiencing Illness, Injury or Impairment: Promoting occupation and participation, Seventh Edition, reflects the knowledge, attitudes and skills that underpin the practice of promoting occupation and participation. It showcases how occupational therapists work with people – not medical conditions and diagnoses – as individuals, groups, communities, and populations.The new edition now has additional chapters on the assessment and intervention stages of the professional reasoning process to assist development of enabling skills and strategies. It also includes many more practice stories throughout to provide authentic examples to illustrate the application of theory to practice. Learning is further reinforced via access to a new online resource – Evolve Resources – which includes MCQs, reflective questions and three bonus interactive practice stories with accompanying reflective videos. These are all signposted within the textbook.Now compromising seven sections, which follow the professional reasoning format of the Canadian Practice Process Framework (CPPF), the new edition first tracks the evolution of occupational therapy in the context of health care. It then examines the foundational biomedical and social sciences, in addition to occupational science, before going on to the areas of assessment; writing occupation-focused goals; enabling skills and strategies which include advocacy and lobbying, public health, and community-based rehabilitation. The book ends with a chapter on developing effective reflection skills to enable occupational therapists to critically evaluate their practice, evolve as practitioners, and maintain and develop their professional competencies.

  • Comprendre et traiter l'Obésité

    Approche pluridisciplinaire intégrative
    • 1st Edition
    • Jérôme Carraz
    • French
    Les causes de l’obésité sont extrêmement complexes, et les sciences biologiques ne peuvent apporter qu’une partie des explications et des solutions. Les sciences humaines (anthropologie, psychanalyse) doivent contribuer à expliquer la progression inexorable de l’obésité dans le monde, éclairer la situation particulière des sujets en surpoids, et participer à mettre en œuvre des approches thérapeutiques efficaces à long terme. Ce livre propose une réflexion clinique et étiopathogénique sur l’hyperphagie, qui est un trouble alimentaire jouant un rôle majeur dans l’obésité. Le modèle de prise en charge pluridisciplinaire et intégratif développé dans cet ouvrage recourt à des approches comportementales, psychodynamiques, psychocorporelles et à la méditation en pleine conscience. Ces thérapies peuvent aussi être associées, au cas par cas, à des traitements pharmacologiques, des hospitalisations ou des interventions de chirurgie bariatrique. Le texte est illustré de nombreuses vignettes cliniques et témoignages de patients.

  • Community Pharmacy

    Symptoms, Diagnosis and Treatment
    • 4th Edition
    • Paul Rutter
    • English
    Community Pharmacy: Symptoms, Diagnosis and Treatment, Fourth Edition is fully updated to address the ever increasing demands on healthcare professionals to deliver high-quality patient care. A multitude of factors impinge on healthcare delivery today, including an ageing population, more sophisticated medicines, high patient expectation and changing health service infrastructure. Time demands on primary care doctors have caused other models of service delivery to be adopted across the world, leading to ongoing changes in the traditional boundaries of care between doctors, nurses, and pharmacists. Certain medical tasks are now being performed by nurses and pharmacists, for example prescribing. Healthcare policies to encourage patients to manage their own health have led to more medicines becoming available over the counter, allowing community pharmacists to manage and treat a wide range of conditions. Further deregulation of medicines to treat acute illness from different therapeutic areas seems likely. Government policy now encourages chronic disease management as a self-care activity, and could well be the largest area for future growth of reclassification of medicines. Pharmacists, now more than ever before, need to be able to recognise the signs and symptoms, and use an evidence-based approach to treatment.Community Pharmacy: Symptoms, Diagnosis and Treatment, Fourth Edition is intended for all non-medical prescribers but especially for pharmacists, from undergraduate students to experienced practitioners.

    Endoscopic access to the small bowel has advanced significantly since the introduction of video capsule endoscopy and deep enteroscopy in early 2000. Other major advances have occurred in imaging modalities involving computed tomography and magnetic resonance studies. Due to these advances, the recent 2015 ACG guideline changed the terminology from “obscure” to “small bowel” bleeding because the majority of cases now can be found to have a small bowel source. The improvements in technology have advanced our ability to visualized vascular findings, inflammatory lesions, and small bowel neoplasms. Articles in this issue are devoted to these improvements in technology.
