Application of diagnostic and therapeutic processes (2017/2018)
The teaching is organized as follows:
Learning outcomes
------------------------
MM: SCIENZE DIETETICHE
------------------------
The teaching is based on the safe and efficient assistance’s precepts, achieving health results or a patient’s rewarding condition and evaluating the caring’s progress in collaborations with a multidisciplinary team. The approach considers the various application modalities for a prescribed diagnostic and therapeutic process and the monitoring strategies for the personal effects too.
------------------------
MM: FARMACOLOGIA CLINICA
------------------------
The course aims to provide to the student knowledgebase of clinical pharmacology necessary for nursing, and useful in the control and management of drug therapies, with particular reference to the identification and prevention of major adverse drug events for each category of drugs studied. Equally important it is to have the necessary knowledge to be able to make an effective drug education to patients.

MM: INFERMIERISTICA APPLICATA AI PERCORSI DIAGNOSTICI E TERAPEUTICI
------------------------
Learning Outcomes (knowledge and skills acquired) The teaching is based on the safe and efficient assistance’s precepts, achieving health results or a patient’s rewarding condition and evaluating the caring’s progress in collaborations with a multidisciplinary team. The approach considers the various application modalities for a prescribed diagnostic and therapeutic process and the monitoring strategies for the personal effects too.
------------------------
MM: DIAGNOSTICA PER IMMAGINI E RADIOPROTEZIONE
------------------------
Describe and understand the principles of radiation protection and the characteristics of the main radiological investigations to avoid risks and complications
Program
------------------------
MM: SCIENZE DIETETICHE
------------------------
Patient’s Nutritional needs, population’s daily recommended taking levels Food and water digestion’s physiology Nutritional supplement and nutritional mixture Nutritional approach to overweight, malnourished and cachexistic patients Cardio-vascular and empathic affected patient’s diet
------------------------
MM: FARMACOLOGIA CLINICA
------------------------
At the end of the course the student should know the most important characteristics, the mechanism of action (in relation to the adverse events), the most frequent and serious adverse reactions, the contraindications, the precautions, the problems related to the management of the therapy (eg interactions, drugs administration), the main indications and the most used single drugs for each of the following drug classes: Cardiovascular drugs: digitalis, antiarrhythmics, Antihypertensives, antianginals, diuretics, cholesterol lowering agents, Anticoagulants, Antiplatelet agents (the following categories also include Calcium channel blockers, beta blockers, ACE inhibitors, sartans and statins) Respiratory drugs: Antiasthmatics, Cough Sedatives, Mucolytics Gastrointestinal drugs: Antiulcer (gastroprotectors), Antiemetics, laxatives Drugs of the nervous system: Opioid analgesics (pain therapy), Anxiolytic - Sedative-hypnotics (benzodiazepines), antidepressants. As part of the course is scheduled the discussion of one or more clinical cases.
