The teaching is organized as follows:

Learning outcomes

The teaching aims to study physiopathological aspects, clinical and nursing aspects in emergency situation, selected based on their epidemiological and exemplarity importance in different situations (territory, hospital, home); it focuses on risks’ individuation, on intervention’s complexity and compliance and on patient’s urgent and complex nursing need identifying the priorities.

Examination Methods

examination with 15 multiple choice questions only one answer will be correct Cut off to get a sufficient evaluation is 9/15 To pass the integrated examination of all 6 moduls, the student have to pass all 6 parts with al sufficient evaluation. If only one part results insufficient tho hole exam is to repeat. If only one part resulta insufficient with 8/15 and all other parts are positiv the group of lectures will discuss to make pass the student downregulating the votation to 3 points. If the global votation results lower than 18/30 the hole exam is to repeat
