Educational objectives The general pharmacology is the study of the fundamentals of drug action that evaluates the relationship between body and drug, and analyzes the general mechanisms of interaction between the two systems. All the drugs share some general principles that are independent of the nature of the effect and which are common to all. The main knowledge gained will be related to: 1) Receptors and theories of receptor activation; 2) mechanisms of drug action and signal transduction pathways. The acquired knowledge will enable the student to achieve the following skills: 1) To understand the importance of proper drug dosage; 2) To comprehend the mechanism of action of drugs; 3) To understand the relevance of dose-response; 4) To avoid toxic effects; 5) To use drugs rationally and achieve maximum efficacy with minimum toxicity.
Prerequisites The student must have knowledge of anatomy, physiology and chemistry in order to learn the general pharmacology.
Teaching methods The course consists of classroom lectures on all topics of the course.
Other information Student reception after appointment by email.
Learning verification modality The exam includes a written test (multiple choice questions) at the end of the course.

Students with disabilities and/or DSA are invited to visit the page dedicated to the tools and measures envisaged and to agree in advance what is necessary with the teacher (https://www.unipg.it/disabilita-e -dsa).
Extended program Main classes of drug receptors and signal transduction mechanisms. Methods for studying receptors. Dose-response curves. Agonists and antagonists. General concepts of toxicology: ADI (Acceptable Daily Intake), NOEL (No Observed Effect Level). Idiosyncrasy and hypersensitivity. Pharmacovigilance.

Educational objectives
The objective of the Integrated Course in Clinical Nursing and Health Education will be to provide graduates with all the knowledge necessary to:
- Make decisions and solve problems in the nursing care field using the nursing disciplinary method. Learn to recognize nursing diagnoses that arise in care situations related to the most frequent priority health problems of the population.
- Identify nursing diagnoses, define outcomes and plan interventions taking into account: standards, evidence of effectiveness, guidelines for best clinical practice and professional ethics.
- Transmit information, document and evaluate the various phases and results of the entire care process by collaborating and involving other healthcare professionals and the person being cared for.
- Establish and maintain the transpersonal care relationship in compliance with the principles and values ¿¿of the person and the professional.
- Recognize care situations that require the formulation of judgments in accordance with professional principles, values ¿¿and standards. Identify information and education opportunities for individuals, families and the community to promote the adoption of healthy lifestyles.
- Use health education methods and tools appropriate to the needs and characteristics of individuals and groups and evaluate the results. Know the current legislation in the field of professional responsibility and act in one's role.
- Know the roles and profiles of health, social and socio-health figures to promote multidisciplinary and multi-professional activity in the hospital and territorial setting.
- Know the current legislation on the safety of care and of the person being assisted and the contribution of the nurse in reading and developing good practices.
- Know the organizational models and identify those aimed at hospital-territory continuity of care in the field of chronicity.
- Know methods and tools to analyze risk, in order to identify the nurse's contribution in preventing the risk itself.
