Learning outcomes

The course aims to investigate physio pathological, clinical and care aspects of some important health problems selected considering their epidemiological relevance and feature in situation of clinical instability but above all in chronicity/disability. The course considers changes deriving from aging and from chronic degenerative problems increase. The approach focuses on the recognition and management of current and potential problems with a view to continuity in different care settings and on development of competencies and self-care skills. GERIATRICS: The course aims to deepen the physiopathological, clinical and care aspects of some priority health problems selected based on their relevance epidemiological and exemplary both in the situation of clinical instability but above all in the chronicity / disability. Consider the resulting changes aging population and the increase in chronic degenerative problems. The approach focuses on the recognition and management of problems current and potential in a perspective of continuity in different care contexts and on the promotion and development of skills and s+J32elf-care skills. CLINICAL NURSING IN MEDICINE AND PALLIATIVE CARE: Knowing how to describe the sphere of palliative care and identifying objectives and methods of taking charge of the people involved and their families Identify the most approp+J32riate approaches to the individual phases of the disease pathway. NURSING IN CHRONIC DISEASE The module aims to deepen the physiopathological, clinical and care aspects of some priority health problems selected based on their epidemiological relevance and exemplarity both in the situation of clinical instability but above all in the chronicity / disability. Consider the changes resulting from the aging of the population and the increase in chronic degenerative problems. 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. REHABILITATION MEDICINE to acquire knowledge about concepts of disablement,disability and handicap, neuro-Motor rehabilitation Bladder’s neurologic rehabilitation and rehabilitation of patients with hip and knee’s prosthesis NEUROLOGY: To acquire the basic knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the central and peripheral nervous system, of the etiopathogenesis, of the physiopathology of the main neurological syndromes, the principles of treatment and the type of supportive care ENDOCRINOLOGY: Nursing knowledge and skills in the diagnosis, management and treatment of diabetes mellitus and other major endocrine diseases.

Examination Methods

The exam aims at verifying the understanding of the topics covered in class and detailed in the exam program.
The exam is made of two parts:
1) medical part: written multiple choice test of 10 questions for each of the 5 medical subjects (duration 75 minutes). The test will be passed with at least 6 correct answer for each subject. If only one subject is not passed, the partial test regarding this subject can be repeated at the next session only once. Grades for each subject will be given according to the number of correct answers: 10=30/30, 9=27/30, 8=24/30, 7=21/30, 6=18/30, <6=not passed;
2) nursing part (duration 90 minutes):
a) clinical nursing in chronic care: written test of 15 multiple choice questions + 5 open questions; grade is based on teacher's evaluation of answers to the 5 open questions and on the number of correct answers to the 15 multiple choice questions: 15=30/30, 14=28/30, 13=26/30, 12=24/30, 11=22/30, 10=20/30, 9=18/30, <9=not passed;
b) clinical nursing in palliative care: written test of 5 multiple choice questions + 5 open questions; grade is based on teacher's evaluation of answers to the 5 open questions and on the number of correct answers to the 5 multiple choice questions: 5=30/30, 4=24/30, 3=18/30, <3=not passed.

The exam final grade is weighed at 50% on the medical part and 50% on the nursing part, as follows: (mean of the grades of the medical part + mean of the grades of the nursing part) divided by 2.
