Objectives and Contextualisation
There are many situations in childhood and adolescence that mean that children and adolescents in general should be considered vulnerable populations. Boys and girls, like teenagers, are vulnerable because they are at constant risk of being harmed, abused, persecuted, harmed or influenced by different agents in front of whom they are helpless. Sometimes they are victims of violence in institutions, society and even their family, so they need to be protected and cared for by qualified health professionals.
The main objective of the Vulnerable Groups in Children and Adolescents module is for students to know the main problems of inequality and vulnerability of children and adolescents, as well as the nursing care associated with each of the problems treated.

- Develop critical reasoning and social commitment to the diverse facets of today's society, based on respect for fundamental rights, equality between women and men and non-discrimination.
- Develop scientific knowledge, critical reasoning and creativity
- Integrate practice informed by evidence in the area of vulnerability and care.
- Involve bioethics in diagnosis and intervention in situations that place the population at risk of vulnerability.
- That students are able to integrate knowledge and handle complexity and formulate judgments based on information that was incomplete or limited, include reflecting on social and ethical responsibilities linked to the application of their knowledge and judgments.
Learning Outcomes
