The approach focuses on the recognition and management of current and potential problems in a perspective of continuity in different care contexts and on the promotion and development of skills and self-care skills. INTERNAL MEDICINE The module aims to provide knowledge on the physiopathological processes and the main diagnostic-therapeutic pathways of the main clinical pictures such as liver cirrhosis, pneumonia and bronchopulmonary foci, gastritis and gastric ulcers, chronic inflammatory bowel diseases, acute and chronic renal failure . With reference to the illnesses treated, the student, on the basis of knowledge, must be able to: a) recognize the main signs and symptoms of the diseases treated and b) acquire some basic hints for therapeutic management.

Prerequisites and basic notions

Principles of taking care of the person with chronic degenerative disease: - promote patient autonomy and reduce the risk of disability - promote self-management of the disease - ensure continuity of care: transitions, discharge, treatment reconciliation - effects of hospitalization in chronicity and strategies to avoid the "hospitalization syndrome" - understand the trajectory of the disease Cognitive processes and management of the main cognitive alterations: The evaluation and management of the main cognitive alterations: - Memory - Language (fluent and non-fluent aphasia) - perception (Agnosia, spatial and personal neglect) - Acute confusional state (Delirium) The person with Delirium or acute confusional state alteration - Precipitating factors and predisposing factors - Diagnostic criteria (DSM V manual) - CAM method evaluation - Interventions for symptom management, estimates - The restraint The person affected by Al's disease zheimer - Cognitive deficits: assessment with MMSE tool and management (rehabilitation methods) - Non-cognitive behavioral disorders: DICE method assessment and management of aggression, wandering and hallucination behaviors - Functional deficits: assessment with BADL scales , IADL,AADL and management - Specific evaluation scale from both a Functional and cognitive point of view BANSS The person affected by Parkinson's disease - Parkinson's disease symptoms Motor and non-motor - Evaluation with the Wearing OFF scale (predictable fluctuations) - Evaluation of disease progression (MDS-UPDRS Scale) - Care interventions: management of pharmacological therapy (Levodopa), nutrition. - Problem management: motor function, dysphagia and drooling Person with type I and type II diabetes mellitus.
