The exam includes a written and an oral test. The written test will consist of 30 multiple choice questions, which will focus on the entire program of the two disciplines of the integrated course: general nursing 1 and nursing methodology. Each question will have a value of 1 point for a total achievable score of 30 points; on achieving at least 18 points in the written test, it will be possible to access the oral test. The test will last 40 minutes. The oral exam will focus on the contents covered in the integrated course of the two disciplines
At the end of the course the student will have learnt:
• to apply Marisa Cantarelli's Model of Nursing Services, especially the first two phases of data collection and classification
• to carry out an initial assessment of the state of health of the assisted person through the tools available such as observation, interview / interview, physical examination, assessment scales
• to identify Nursing Care Needs
• to transmit information and use nursing documentation
The proposed contents are as follows:
• From the collection and classification of data to the identification of the Need for Nursing Assistance according to the Model of Nursing Services (Cantarelli, 2017): introductory elements to the nursing decision-making process

The module will develop through lectures managed synchronously in TEAMS; during the lessons the teacher will make use of the projection of slides that summarize and simplify the proposed contents.
The teaching material will be uploaded to the e-learning platform where the teacher will also make a forum available to clarify doubts and allow asynchronous communication.
Care cases will be presented and discussed during the lessons, individual and group work, in order to give greater substance to the theoretical contents presented.
It will also be proposed to watch videos that exemplify the more practical contents of the course. On the basis of ministerial and rectoral indications, teaching may vary.
It will be possible to interact with the teacher through the e-learning platform and the dedicated forum asynchronously or through an interview on the TEAMS platform in synchronous mode.
