Nursing in Clinical Medicine, Surgery and Pharmacology
(objectives)
Aim of the Teaching is to provide students with knowledge on: • General and peripheral anesthesia • Monitoring in the intensive care unit • Organ failure. Physiopathology and treatment • Oxygen therapy and basics of invasive and non-invasive mechanical ventilation • Shock • Stupor and coma • Basics of pain therapy • Basics of effective comunication • The main pathologies of surgical interest by ensuring that at the end of the course the student is able to describe the fundamental aspects of the assessment and preparation of the person for surgery • To identify the main post-operative complications and related prevention measures and to describe the metabolic and functional changes in the post-operative phase • Describe the epidemiology, prevention measures and early diagnosis; etiopathogenesis and pathophysiology, main diagnostic investigations, signs and symptoms typical of the pathological picture and possible complications, specific monitoring in relation to the type of surgery and describe the follow-up programs and the principles of rehabilitation in relation to the type of pathology and surgical treatment • Basic principles of clinical pharmacology and in particular, notions of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics and absorption mechanisms • Classifying the active substances according to their composition and specificity of action • Physiopathological and diagnostic bases of pathologies of greater interest and internal frequency are essential goals. In this context the teaching of nursing practice and of the best and optimal approach to the patient with multi-factoriality of risk and multi-pathologies will be decisive. • The nursing ability for the clinical, laboratory and instrumental management of the patient with medical diseases.
