Prerequisites
This subject does not have prerequisites, although it is recommended to have completed and passed previously the subject of Nursing Care in the Adult Patient I.
Objectives
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.

Learning activities and methodology
| Title | Hours | ECTS | Learning outcomes |
|---|---|---|---|
| LITERATURE REVIEW / REPORTS / COURSE-WORK SUBMISSION / SELF-DIRECTED STUDY | 46.5 | 1.86 | |
| SEMINARS | 8 | 0.32 | |
| THEORY | 17 | 0.68 |
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 contents will be developed from an evidence-based practice point of view and a group dynamics perspective. As a result of the work carried out in the seminars, developed in part during the time dedicated to autonomous work and personal study, a theoretical work will be presented that will have to be defended through group presentation.
Assessment
Continuous assessment activities
| Title | Weight | Hours | ECTS | Learning outcomes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Exam | 50% | 2 | 0.08 | KM26, KM27, SM19 |
| Presentation preparation and oral defense. | 20% | 0.5 | 0.02 | KM26, KM27, SM19 |
| Elaboration of written course work. | 30% | 1 | 0.04 | KM26, KM27, SM19 |
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 totality of the teaching of the subject has been completed. It consists of: test questions with 4 answer options and only 1 correct option. The errors subtract according to the following formula: x = correct answers-(errors/n-1), where n is the number of answer options.
It represents 50% of the final grade. A minimum grade of 5 points out of 10 is needed to be able to pass the subject.
2. Practical evaluation: preparation and oral defense of written work.
Elaboration, presentation and defense of a work carried out in group, of complementary theme to the one worked during the theory sessions. The presentation and defense will take place during the seminar sessions. The content worked on will be evaluated, as well as the oral presentation made by each of the members of the group.
The preparation of the work accounts for 30% of the grade and the presentation/defense of the work accounts for 20% of the grade. The non-attendance on the day of the presentation implies a Non-Evaluable in the presentation of the work. A minimum grade of 5 points out of 10 is needed to be able to pass the subject.
Attendance at seminars is compulsory. Any unjustified absence will subtract 0.5 points from the final grade of the subject.
The following situations are considered justifiedabsences:
- Official exam
- acute illness
- Specialized medical visit
- Competition of elite athletes (not training)
- Death of a relative or close person.
Any sign of academic dishonesty, such as plagiarism or manipulation of assessment documents, etc., or any discriminatory, violent or disrespectful attitude towards classmates and/or teachers, may result in the immediate suspension of the subject. In case of suspicion and/or confirmation, the degree coordination will be informed.
OBTAINING THE FINAL GRADE
The grade of the subject is the sum of the grades of the proposed evaluation activities. The requirement to be able to make this sum isto have obtained the minimum score required in each part that requires it. The non-passing of any or all of these parts that requires a minimum grade implies the non-passing of the subject.
It will be understood by not evaluable that student who has not presented any of the evaluation activities.
Students who have not passed the subject through continuous evaluation may take a recovery test. To participate in the recovery activity, students must have been previously evaluated in a set of activities the weight of which is equivalent to a minimum of two thirds of the total grade of the subject (article 112 ter. of the UAB evaluation regulations). The maximum grade that will be obtained from the specific recovery test will be a 5, which will be average with the rest of the evaluation activities.
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 plannedevaluation activities, they will receive the grade of not assessable.
SINGLE-ASSESSMENT
Students who follow the single assessment modality offered by this subject will take the evaluation tests during the exam week planned in January / February (coinciding on thedate with the recovery exam of those students who have not opted for the single assessment). The evaluation tests will be as follow:
- A written evaluation type exam through objective tests: multiple choice questions, of the same characteristicsas that carried out by the continuous assessment students, where the contents worked during the theoretical classes will be evaluated. This test will be 50% of the final mark.
- A written work related to the content worked in the theoretical classes, of the same characteristics as the one carried out in the seminar sessions. This test will have a weight of 30% of the grade.
- A written evaluation type exam through objective tests: short answer questions, with questions related to the content of the work presented by the student. This test will have a weight of 20% of the grade.
The minimum mark necessary for each test to pass the subject will be 5 points out of 10. In case of not passing any of the tests, a date will be specified to be able to carry out the recovery of the suspended test. As in the evaluation of continuous assessment students, the maximum grade of the recovery test will be 5 points, which will average with the rest of the evaluation tests to obtain the final grade.
\"non-evaluable\" will be granted following the same criteria as in the conituous evaluation proces as described.
USE OF AI
For this subject, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is permitted exclusively for translation and/or quality improvement of seminar papers, as well as for improving the quality of the presentation. Students must clearly identify which sections were generated with this technology, specify the tools used, and include a critical reflection on how these influenced the process and final outcome of the activity. Lack of transparency in the use of AI in this assessable activity will be considered academic dishonesty and may result in a partial or total penalty in the activity grade, or greater sanctions in serious cases.
