Learning objectives

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

Criteria for the composition of the final grade

The exam is divided into three blocks defined as follows according to the total number of lesson hours (1 question for each lesson hour): Block A – Clinical Pharmacology 24 questions with multiple choice questions (4 or 5 choices) Block B – Diagnostic imaging and Dietetic sciences 24 questions (12 for each module) with multiple choice questions (4 or 5 questions) Block C – Nursing 30 points (open or closed questions) The student passes the exam if he obtains a passing grade in the individual modules : 46 points overall (14 in blocks A and B, 18 in block C). The student can repeat only one block if he achieves a passing grade in the other two. The pending block must still be overcome within the next session. The single block can only be repeated once. The final grade is assigned based on the points obtained according to the following table: POINTS - GRADE 76-77-78 points grade 30 with honors 71-72-73-74-75 points grade 30 68-69-70 points grade 28 65- 66-67 rating points 27 62-63-64 rating points 26 60-61 rating points 25 58-59 rating points 24 56-57 rating points 23 54-55 rating points 22 52-53 rating points 21 50-51 rating points 20 48-49 points mark 19 46-47 points mark 18 less than 46=rejected In the assignment there are also 3 calculations which allow (if all solved and if there is a score higher than 50) to have an extra mark. The duration of the exam is 120 minutes.
