From the formation of edema to excess volume: pathophysiological mechanism, targeted assessment
Monitoring of volume excess through hydroelectrolyte balance
Self-care behaviors in people with heart failure Acute myocardial infarction: thinking about the clinical manifestations and notes on the main diagnostic and therapeutic approaches
Problems in the acute phase: targeted assessment and management interventions and monitoring (including electrocardiogram) of:
• Chest pain
• Anxiety and agitation
• Risk of arrhythmia
Targeted assessment and management and monitoring interventions of:
• Risk of haemorrhage
• Hypoxia/hypoxemia
• Risk of complications related to necrosis, ischemia, injury myocardial
• Intolerance to physical activity
The transfer from the ICU to the cardiology inpatient unit and the rehabilitation project
Prepare the person for safe discharge, transferring information regarding behavior and the recognition of triggering factors
Sleep in hospital: its meaning and the point of view of the patient and the nurse in some clinical contexts
Night care in hospital: objectives, planned activities and the meaning of vigilance, night "rounds";

Clinical worsening and clinical manifestations in the severe asthma crisis
Problems in the unstable phase of the disease: assessment and monitoring and management interventions of:
• Dyspnea
• Hypoxia
• Worry
• Risk of hemodynamic alterations and fatal arrhythmias
• Possible adherence to treatment and prevention behaviors
Safely plan the person's discharge after a severe asthma attack, informing them about the behaviors to implement and how recognize a worsening of the clinical situation

Learning assessment procedures

is at the discretion of the individual teacher and involves the proposal of multiple choice questions, open or mixed, as described below: 
Internal Medicine: 15 multiple choice questions Cardiovascular Diseases: 10 multiple choice questions
Pneumology: 10 multiple choice questions 
Oncology Medical: 10 multiple choice questions 
Infectious Diseases: 10 multiple choice questions 
Clinical medical nursing: 4 open-ended and 6 multiple choice questions
The exam was organized into two blocks (called A and B). Each block is made up of three modules as follows:
BLOCK A
NURSING CLINICAL MEDICAL
CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES
PNEUMOLOGY
BLOCK B
INTERNAL MEDICINE
INFECTIOUS DISEASES
MEDICAL ONCOLOGY
To carry out the test the student has: 60 minutes (Block A) 40 minutes (Block B)

Evaluation criteria

The student can register and take the exam for both blocks at the same time or for a single block and must complete the teaching exam by the 5th session. The single block is considered completed only if the student has passed all the modules contained in it; in the event of failure to pass even a single module belonging to the block, the student will have to repeat all the disciplines included in the same block, at the next session. Upon passing all the modules contained in a block, the result is displayed as positive. The teaching exam is considered passed if a grade of 18/30 is obtained in all the modules foreseen for each block; the positivity of the block modules is maintained only for the academic year. The student has the right to refuse the grade for one or both blocks, completing any missing part by the 5th session.
