title: [Language in intensive care, the implications for the patient and the nurse].
abstract: Adapted care in intensive care units requires nurses to be aware of and to take into account the challenges, the methods and the effects of language on patients. Words, communication and information represent the different methods to be used appropriately. Language must be used with care as it can be destructive as well as structuring.
