Application of diagnostic and therapeutic processes (2020/2021)
The teaching is organized as follows:
Learning outcomes
The course consists of four teaching modules, Clinical Pharmacology, Nursing, Dietary Sciences, Imaging Diagnostics and Radioprotection, which integrate themselves to allow a thorough theoretical-practical knowledge of the main diagnostic and therapeutic processes that characterize nursing care. This teaching is based on the principles of safety and efficacy of care to achieve health outcomes or a compensated state of care and to evaluate the progress of care in collaboration with the multidisciplinary team. The approach considers the application methods of the prescribed diagnostic and therapeutic processes as well as the effects surveillance strategies. DIAGNOSTIC FORM FOR IMAGES AND RADIOPROTECTION: Conferring notions on the principles of image formation in diagnostic imaging, on radiation protection, on how to prepare and carry out investigations. Learning the notions concerning radiation protection. Teaching the required preparations and techniques of administration of contrast media. Informing about adverse reactions to contrast media. CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY: The aim of the module is to provide the student with notions of clinical pharmacology necessary for the profession of nurse, useful in the control and management of drug therapies, with particular reference to the recognition and prevention of the most important adverse events for each category of drugs studied. It is equally important to have the necessary knowledge to be able to carry out an effective pharmacological education towards patients. DIAGNOSTIC AND THERAPEUTIC PROCESSES APPLIED NURSING: The module focuses on the management and application of diagnostic and therapeutic processes that are required to provide nursing care to patients in hospital, territorial and residential care settings. This module is based on the principles of safety and efficacy of care to achieve health outcomes or a compensated state of care and to evaluate the progress of care in collaboration with the interdisciplinary team. The approach considers the application methods of the prescribed diagnostic and therapeutic processes as well as the effects surveillance strategies. DIETARY SCIENCES: - Give students the necessary tools to learn about nutrition. - Integrate nutritional knowledge into daily work in the wards. - Provide food nutrients and complications related to incorrect nutrition

Safe administration of therapies (enteral, parenteral and topical). Drug therapy related to meals and food (full and empty stomach). Drug management in pre-postoperative and during diagnostic tests. Crushing and pulverizing of drugs (in the dysphagic person and with a probe for enteral nutrition) Calculation exercises applied to infusional and oral therapy. Management of peripheral and central vascular catheters and major complications (phlebitis, occlusion, infiltration and extravasation). Venous and arterial sampling by radial arterial blood gas analysis, capillary sampling. Collection of samples for blood culture, co-culture, sputum, complete urine test and 24-hour urine collection. Preparation and assistance for instrumental / diagnostic examinations for the person undergoing colonoscopy and bronchoscopy or for exams requiring contrast; resumption of feeding after gastroscopy or bronchoscopy. Enteral nutrition (NE) via gastric nose tube (SNG) and percutaneous endoscopy gastrostomy (PEG) and total parenteral nutrition (NPT). Educate the patient in therapy with oral anticoagulants.
