Soins infirmiers aux aînés en perte d'autonomie, 3e éd. | Manuel (imprimé et numérique) + MonLa

What is an elderly person like? What is old age and what are its causes? How do we define chronic illness, loss of autonomy, and the syndrome of fragility? What are the principles on which infirmary care for patients with a loss of autonomy is based? It is impossible to provide quality care to this clientele without first understanding the answers to these questions.

With great attention to detail, this book answers these questions and more. It addresses the most pertinent clinical issues and the most common health problems by placing the functions of nurses on the agenda. For each clinical topic covered in the manual, the clinical evaluation (including the physical examination), clinical surveillance, and care are described in detail. In addition to the incontrovertible health problems such as dementia, cardiac insufficiency, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, it presents several clinical challenges such as end-of-life care and the contribution of the nurse to the optimal use of medication.

A pertinent book for all clinical settings, rich in nuances and very much in favor of a healthy society.
