Learning objectives

The course aims to provide the student with technical-practical, relational, problem-solving and organizational skills in safe setting, before clinical practice in clinical environment with patients, in order to reduce the emotional impact that comes from real situations and guarantee ethicality and safety to patients. For these reasons this course represents a prerequisite for the clinical practice. It also offers to student the opportunity to train himself in applying the theoretical principles to practice situations. The main skills of the first year of the Bachelor Degree are: measuring vital parameters, hand hygiene, choice and use of personal protective equipment (PPE), setting up a sterile field, staging and treatment of a pressure injury , take care of the person's body, apply the principles of ergonomics, carry out the person's positioning / transfer and assisted positioning maneuvers, assessment skills and objective examination.

Prerequisites and basic notions

Study of the bibliography suggested in the reference program foreseen for each exercise/laboratory

Program

The teaching involves testing the following skills in a protected environment:
- Detection of vital signs
- Principles of ergonomics, grips and techniques for positioning/transferring and walking the person
- Integrating basic disciplines, applying knowledge of physiology, pathophysiology and nursing to a case
- Conduct an interview and objective examination to collect data on the person's needs and requirements
-Hand hygiene, choice and use of PPE and preparation of a sterile field
- Staging a pressure injury and applying the criteria for choosing treatment

Bibliography

Didactic methods

The teaching includes experimentation in a protected environment with the following skills:
- Detection of vital signs
There will be a peer trial of the measurement and initial interpretation of vital signs (blood pressure, pulse, respiratory rate, pulse oximetry, body temperature).
- Principles of ergonomics, grips and techniques for positioning/transferring and walking the person
Situations will arise in which:
peer testing of the mobilization of the patient with slight mobility deficits (e.g. mobilization in bed, bed-chair, wheelchair bed),
selection and use of some aids useful for mobilization (e.g. sliding sheet, lift, etc.),
execution of the maneuver respecting ergonomic and safety principles for the patient and the operator.
- Integrate basic disciplines, apply knowledge of physiology, pathophysiology and nursing to a case
A clinical case will be prepared and during the laboratory there will be a moment to:
analysis in small groups, guided by in-depth questions, of the theoretical contents necessary to understand and interpret the data/manifestations of the person's situation,
plenary discussion, led by an expert.
- Conduct an interview and objective examination to collect data on the person's needs and requirements
Active experimentation with role-playing games, with subsequent analysis in small groups with the aim of understanding the sources, methods and organization of the assessment.
- Hand hygiene, choice and use of PPE and preparation of a sterile field
Settings/scenarios will be set up where the student can practice several times:
selection of appropriate devices and performance of hand hygiene,
preparation of the material to set up a sterile field and wearing sterile gloves in compliance with the principles of sterility
- Staging a pressure injury and applying criteria for choosing treatment
Analysis of situations in small groups, guided by in-depth questions, of the theoretical contents necessary to understand the patient's situation, stage the pressure injury and identify some management interventions, subsequent plenary discussion, guided by an expert. to highlight sources, methods, organization of the survey.
-Hand hygiene, choice and use of DPI and preparation of a sterile field
There will be settings / scenarios where the student can practice several times in:
- selection of appropriate protection devices and execution of hand hygiene
- preparation of the material to set up a sterile field and wear sterile gloves in compliance with the principles of sterility.
Assess the stage of a Ulcer Pressure and applying treatment selection criteria
Analysis of situations in small groups, guided by questions, of the theoretical contents necessary to understand the patient's situation, staging the ulcer pressure and propose the appropriate treatment;
discussion in plenary, led by an expert.
