Objectives

The aim of the module
The course aims to provide students with the knowledge necessary to provide adequate and comprehensive nursing care to patients undergoing surgery. Therefore, guidance is provided care to completion of the notions of general surgery specialist and learned by the student.
Furthermore, the nursing care is presented in a systematic way by the application of
care planning according to the methodology NANDA.

Knowledge and skills expected
Implement a standard plan for a patient who undergoes surgery.
Implement plans for the standard Level II surgical diseases most frequently encountered.
Apply floor II level for some D.I. and P.C. encountered in surgery

Learning outcomes

Module:
N/D
Module:
The not particularly in-depth knowledge of the vascular pathology associated with the knowledge of the symptoms represents an important aid in the interpretation of the patient's clinical conditions and allows the student and subsequently the nurse to be directed to specifically assist the doctor himself. Furthermore, this knowledge could also be of considerable help for what concerns the post-operative care of the patient himself.
