Objectives
This is a subject framed within the subject of Clinical Nursing and is taught in the first semester of the second year.
GENERAL OBJECTIVE:
Provide students with the knowledge, abilities, attitudes and values necessary to help adults who live a health process and need expert and competent help in the following areas: preventative, healing and rehabilitating within the hospitalization process and until they achieve the necessary autonomy to take care of themselves and take their own health decisions.
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES:
Once the study of the different units is completed students must be able to:
- Relate etiological factors and physiopathological mechanisms with clinical manifestations of the most prevalent health problems, in acute or chronic phase, in adults.
- Relate the data obtained in the assessment - by observation, interview and physical examination - with the health problems of the attended person.
- Analyze the information obtained in the assessment in order to identify the nurse’s diagnosis, the interdependent problems and the autonomy problems.
- Plan the most appropriate nursing care for the health situations posed, based on the best possible evidence, and which allow the evaluation of their suitability.

Learning activities and methodology
| Title | Hours | ECTS | Learning outcomes |
|---|---|---|---|
| SEMINARS (SEM) | 17.5 | 0.7 | CM26, CM27, SM19 |
| Personal Study | 93.2 | 3.728 | CM26, CM27, SM19 |
| THEORY (TE) | 32 | 1.28 | CM26, CM27 |
THEORY (TE)
The sessions are based on the teaching given by the professor with reflection and practical exercises to be carried out in situ. The active participation of the student in the proposed activities is considered essential.
SEMINARS (SEM)
It is carried out in small groups and through tutored sessions to analyze and solve a situation/problem. With this analysis, the student acquires skills to face problems, prioritize and search for information, make decisions and evaluate its activity.
The teacher will propose situations/cases linked to the subject matter from which each group will have to search, manage, elaborate and synthesize the necessary information that will allow them to respond to the proposed situation. The work done by each group and for each situation will be presented orally. All the components of the groups will have to participate both in the elaboration of the proposed work and in the oral presentation. The presentations may include the preparation of conceptual maps of the problem raised, the preparation of infographics on nursing care for the situation raised, synthesis of the evidence, etc.
INDIVIDUALIZED TUTORIALS
The individualized tutorials will be carried out in case learning difficulties are detected. They can be arranged by contacting by email the responsible teacher.
Assessment
Continuous assessment activities
| Title | Weight | Hours | ECTS | Learning outcomes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Evaluation through case studies and problem solving (II): presentation and oral defense | 16,6% | 1.6 | 0.064 | CM26, CM27, SM19 |
| Evaluation through case studies and problem solving (III): presentation and oral defense | 16,6% | 1.6 | 0.064 | CM26, CM27, SM19 |
| Evaluation through case studies and problem solving (I): presentation and oral defense | 16,6% | 1.6 | 0.064 | CM26, CM27, SM19 |
| Written Evaluation through objective tests: multiple choice answer / open questions | 50% | 2.5 | 0.1 | CM26, CM27 |
The evaluation of the subject includes the following sections:
50% of the final mark will be obtained in the written evaluation through objective tests. Its objective is to evaluate the acquisition of knowledge of the subject worked through the different training activities. This evaluation will be carried out by means of an exam that consists of: multiple choice questions with 4 answer options. The errors subtract according to the following formula: x= hits-(errors/n-1), where n is the number of answer options.
In case of not appearing in the exam, it will be considered a Non-Evaluable.
A minimum grade of 5 points out of 10 is needed to be able to pass the subject.
The other 50% of the final mark will be obtained in the specialized seminars through the resolution of the problems/practical cases and their oral presentation. It will be distributed as follows:
16.6%: Presentation and oral defense of the first avaluable problem/practical case (I). It will be done in the 4th seminar.
16.6%: Presentation and oral defense of the second avaluable problem/practical case (II). It will take place in the 6th seminar.
16.6%: Presentation and oral defense of the third avaluable problem/practical case (III). It will take place in the 8th seminar.
The evaluation is carried out through the rubric prepared for this purpose and posted in Moodle at the beginning of the seminars.
Non-attendance on the day of the presentations (4th, 6th and 8th seminar) implies a grade of zero in the evaluation of the case in question. In case of non-attendance to any of the three seminars, a Non-Evaluable will be considered as the final grade of the seminars.
Non-attendance on days without an exhibition is contemplated as follows: the first non-attendance is NOT penalized. From the second and each absence there will be a reduction of 1 point from thefinal grade of the seminars.
A minimum grade of 5 points out of 10 is needed to be able to pass the subject.
OBTAINING THE FINAL QUALIFICATION
The final grade for the course is the sum of the grades of the proposed evaluation activities with the corresponding weightings. The requirement to carry out this summation is to have obtained a minimum score of 5 points out of 10 in the written evaluation through objective tests and in the specialized seminars. Failure to pass this part implies failure to pass the subject. In the case of a final grade of the subject of suspense, the resulting numerical grade will be that corresponding to the failed part whenever it is greater than 3.5. If it is lower, the numerical mark will be set at 3.5.
Students who have not passed the subject through continuous assessment may take a recovery test. To participate in the recovery, students must have been previously evaluated in a set of activities whose weight is equivalent to a minimum of two thirds of the total grade for the subject (article 112 ter. of the UAB evaluation regulations). The student must appear only in the part not passed (exam or seminars) or in both. The characteristics of the recovery test are similar to those of the continuous assessment tests. The mark obtained in the recovery test will be the final mark of the recovered part. The option of applying for grade improvement is not contemplated.
The student has the right to review the evaluation tests. For this, the date will be specified on the virtual campus.
According to the agreement 4.4 of the Governing Council 11/17/2010 of the evaluation regulations, the qualifications will be:
From 0 to 4.9 = Suspense
From 5.0 to 6.9 = Approved
From 7.0 to 8.9 = Notable
From 9.0 to 10 = Excellent
A grade of "Not Evaluable" is considered the final grade for the subject when the student has a grade of "Not Evaluable" in the written evaluation through objective tests (exam) and/or in specialized seminars.
The possible treatment of particular cases will be carried out from a teaching committee set up for this purpose where the particular situation of the student will be evaluated and the most appropriate decisions will be made.
This subject does not contemplate the single assesment system.
Use of AI. For this subject, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is permitted exclusively for support tasks, such as proofreading, correction of written material or translations. Students must clearly identify which sections were generated with this technology, specify the tools used, and include a critical reflection on how they influenced the process and the final outcome of the activity. Lack of transparency in the use of AI will be considered academic dishonesty and may result in a partial or total penalty in the subject grade, or greater penalties in serious cases.
Irregularities in Assessment Records
Any irregularity in an assessment (academic fraud, plagiarism, or misuse of AI) that could lead to a significant change in the grade will result in a grade of 0 for that assessment. This applies if the course syllabus specifies that a minimum grade on this assessment is a prerequisite for passing the course, or if the final grade for this assessment is 0. In any case, disciplinary proceedings may be initiated against any student who commits any of these irregularities.
