Objectives and Contextualisation
It is a 3 ECTS compulsory subject taught during first semester of third year.
Main objective
This subject aims to provide the student with the necessary training for the correct provision of nursing care to people with prevalent health problems in our environment and in life-threatening situations. Likewise, it aims to raise the student's awareness of the benefits derived from helping people to focus on their own resources so, in the event of a health problem, they can achieve the necessary autonomy to make informed decisions about their health.
Specific objectives
At the end of the study of the different thematic units, the student will:
- Understand the interrelation of the health-disease continuum and identifies the most important processes that trigger the different health alterations.
- Understand the etiological factors, pathophysiological mechanisms and clinical manifestations of the most prevalent disease processes in adults, as well as the complications that arise and the situations of vital risk.
- Know the information necessary to make a correct assessment by systems and basic needs of the person being treated.
- Analyze the information obtained in the assessment in order to identify and formulate the possible problems of the person that will served as a basis for future nursing interventions: nursing diagnoses, interdependent problems and autonomy problems.
- Plan health-related objectives and interventions / activities necessary to achieve them.
- Identify the person's potential so autonomy can be achieved during their health-disease process. Contribute to the optimization of the health system in which it is integrated, providing maximum quality care.
Competences
- Design systems for curing aimed at people, families or groups and evaluate their impact, making any necessary changes.

- Students must have and understand knowledge of an area of study built on the basis of general secondary education, and while it relies on some advanced textbooks it also includes some aspects coming from the forefront of its field of study.
- Use scientific methodology in interventions.

Content
1.- Nursing care for people with respiratory disorders.
2.- Nursing care for people with nephrourological disorders.
3.- Nursing care for critically ill patients.
Methodology
1.- Theory (TE)
Theoretical teaching with audiovisual support on the subject of the subject detailed in "Contents". The active participation of the student during the theoretical sessions is considered essential, either in stimulating them or using the specific program.
2.- Seminars (SE)
Reduced group work sessions, where aspects of the subject matter will be developed from a group dynamics point of view. As a result of the work carried out in the seminars, developed in part during the time dedicated to autonomous work and personal study, two theoretical works will be presented that will have to be defended through group presentation.
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

Assessment
1.Written assessment using objective tests: multiple-choice questions
Its objective is to evaluate the acquisition of knowledge of the subject worked through the different training activities (theory and seminars). It will be carried out once the entire teaching of the subject has been completed. It consists of: multiple choice questions with 4 answer options and only 1 possible correct answer. Errors are subtracted according to the following formula: x = hits- (errors / n-1), where n is the number of answer options.
It represents 50% of the final grade. A minimum grade of 5 out of 10 is required to pass the course.
2. Evaluation of practical type: oral defense of works
Preparation, presentation and defense of 2 works carried out in groups, with a complementary theme to that worked during the theory sessions. The presentation and defense will take place during a seminar session. The content worked on will be evaluated, as well as the oral presentation made by each of the group members. Non-attendance on the day of the presentation implies a Non-Evaluable.
It represents 40% of the final grade. A minimum grade of 5 out of 10 is required to pass the course.
3.- Attendance and active participation in class and seminars
The evaluation will be carried out through the use of an evaluation rubric, with a self-evaluation component, both of the face-to-face attendance to the teaching activities and the attitude in them.
It represents 10% of the final grade and does not need a minimum grade to pass the course.
OBTAINING THE FINAL GRADE
The final grade for the course is the sum of the grades from the proposed evaluation activities. The requirement to be able to make this sum is to have obtained the minimum score required in each part that requires it. Failure to pass any or all of theseparts that requires a minimum grade implies failure to pass the subject.
Non-evaluable will be understood to be that student who has not attended any or any of the evaluation activities.
Students who have not passed the course through continuous assessment may take a make-up test. To participate in the recovery, students must have previously been evaluated in a set of activities, the weight of which is equivalent to a minimum of two-thirds of the total grade for the subject (article 112 ter. Of the evaluation regulations of the UAB). The maximum qualification that will be obtained if a student needs to take the re-test option will be a Approved/Pass
The student has the right to review the evaluation tests. For this purpose, the date will be specified in the Virtual Campus.
According to agreement 4.4 of the Governing Council 11/17/2010 of the evaluation regulations, the qualifications will be:
From 0 to 4.9 = Fail
From 5.0 to 6.9 = Approved/Pass
From 7.0 to 8.9 = Notable
From 9.0 to 10 = Excellent
When the student does not attend any or any of the planned evaluation activities, they will receive the grade of not assessable.
