EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
Gain knowledge of physiopathology, signals and symptoms, study methods, prevention and treatment of
patients with varied medical-surgical pathologies. Gain knowledge to provide care to medical-surgical
patients at the three levels of prevention. Gain enough theoretical knowledge in medical nursing to
respond knowledgeably and positively in the periods of on-going and final assessment. Understand the
individual patient and the implications resulting from the illness at a a personal, family and community

attached list;
2. The contribution is classified as:
a. Fundamental, if the curricular unit is determinant;
b. Complementary, if it is complemented by a fundamental curricular unit;
c. Partial, if there are more curricular units with the same importance
TEACHING/LEARNING STRATEGIES
Student-centred learning to develop organisational, control and assessment abilities within the learning
process. Lectures, demonstrations and autonomous and oriented discovery for overall student development.
During the tutorial sessions, the teacher will work with small groups of students to guide them and support
their individual study or their projects/assignments.
ASSESSMENT
On-going assessment with one written test (70%), class participation and 75% compulsory attendance in
lectures (15%), one individual and group project with oral presentation and discussion (15%).
