Exam mode
There are three exam sessions during the Academic Year: in September/October, in January and in June. For the assessment of learning, there is an oral test, a technical-practical test, the discussion of a clinical case and the evaluation acquired in the ward. The technical-practical test which consists of: developing a care plan (nursing diagnosis, objectives, interventions, evaluation) relating to a clinical case; correctly carry out an articulated dilution of a drug; correctly carry out a procedure with a simulator. The time allowed for the practical test is 15 minutes; For the purposes of evaluating the practical test, clinical knowledge, problem solving skills, consistency and relevance to the development of the proposed care plan will be considered; the ability to mentally and quickly calculate a dose of medication; dexterity, dexterity, precision, respect for the technique and the scientific foundations that support it, the methods of approaching the patient in the execution of the procedure
