Learning outcomes

------------------------
MM: FARMACOLOGIA GENERALE
------------------------
Aim of the unit of General Pharmacology within the course " Physiopathology applied to Nursing" is to give students the basics related to mechanism and use of drugs, with reference to pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics, pharmacoepidemiology and pharmacovigilance. Basic concepts in pharmacology prepare the nurse to the management and surveillance of pharmacological therapies and to educating patient about their medications. The General Pharmacology module is preparatory to the study of each class of drugs, starting from anti-inflammatory and antibacterial drugs. Further knowledge will be gained with the Clinical Pharmacology module.
------------------------
MM: SEMEIOTICA E FISIOPATOLOGIA
------------------------
The course introduces the student to the understanding of the basic concepts concerning the main diseases and the fundamental pathogenic processes, correlating them to the cellular alterations, of the organ function, of the homeostatic mechanisms, and to the clinical manifestations of the disease. It is also proposed to develop in the student an approach oriented to the definition of problems, to the choice of prevention and management interventions of the alterations of the various vital functions, with discussion of court cases in the classroom
------------------------
MM: INFERMIERISTICA CLINICA
------------------------
------------------------ MM: Infermieristica clinica 1 ------------------------ The course introduces the student to the basic concepts of major diseases and the fundamental pathogenetic processes correlate to cell changes, the organ function, homeostatic mechanisms, and clinical manifestations of disease. It is also proposed the study of the basic principles of pharmacology, in particular pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic mechanisms and introduces the student to understand and assess the benefit and risk profile of medicines. It is also proposed to develop in the student an approach oriented to the definition of the problems, the choice of prevention interventions and alterations management of respiratory function and elimination, the recognition and multidimensional assessment of pain. ------------------------ MM: Infermieristica clinica 2 ------------------------ The course introduces the student to the basic concepts of major diseases and the fundamental pathogenetic processes correlate to cell changes, the organ function, homeostatic mechanisms, and clinical manifestations of disease. It is also proposed the study of the basic principles of pharmacology, in particular pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic mechanisms and introduces the student to understand and assess the benefit and risk profile of medicines.

MM: PATOLOGIA GENERALE
------------------------
Learning Outcomes (knowledge and skills acquired) The course introduces the student to the basic concepts of major diseases and the fundamental pathogenetic processes and allows the student to correlate them to cell changes, organ disfunction, homeostatic mechanisms, and clinical manifestations of disease.

Examination Methods

"Physiopathology applied to nursing" learning is assessed by written examination . The test includes 65 multiple-choice questions (1 correct answer out of 4-5 ). 20 questions concerning the module of Clinical Nursing, and 15 are related to each of the 3 modules General Pharmacology, Semeiotics and Physiopathology and General Pathology . The exam is passed when the student answers correctly to at least 11 questions related to Clinical Nursing and 8 concerning each of the other 3 modules.
