Learning outcomes

The course includes four discipline modules: Clinical Pharmacology, Nursing, Dietary Sciences, Diagnostic Imaging and Radioprotection, which are integrated to allow the achievement of the objective of a deep theoretical and practical knowledge of the main diagnostic and therapeutic processes that characterize, in general, nursing care. This course is based on the principles of safety and effectiveness of care to achieve health outcomes or a state of balance of the patient and to evaluate the progress of care in collaboration with the multidisciplinary team. The approach considers the methods of application of the prescribed diagnostic and therapeutic processes as well as the strategies for monitoring the effects.

Methods for the safe administration of therapies. Administration of oral or parenteral drugs. Management of therapy related to meals and foods: full and empty stomach, management of drugs in pre-postoperative and during diagnostic tests. Advantages and limitations of computerized methods and tools for managing therapies. - Safe mode for the crushing, pulverizing and masking of drugs (in the dysphagic person and with a gastric nose tube or PEG) - Calculation exercises applied to drug therapy. - Management of peripheral and central and peripheral vascular accesses with peripheral insertion; interventions for the prevention of major complications (phlebitis, occlusion, infiltration and extravasation). - Venous, capillary and arterial sampling by radial arterial blood gas analysis. Interventions for the control of preanalytic variability and for obtaining the validity of the sample. - Preparation and assistance to the person subjected to instrumental investigations. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy, colonoscopy, bronchoscopy or subjected to diagnostic procedures that require contrast agents; resumption of feeding after gastroscopy or bronchoscopy. - Assist and educate the person with Enteral Nutrition (NE) via gastric nose tube (SNG) and percutaneous endoscopy gastrostomy (PEG) and total parenteral nutrition (NPT) - Educating the person to treatment with oral anticoagulants
