The Pharmacology subject aims to introduce second-year nursing students to the knowledge and use of pharmacological strategies for the treatment of patients.
It is intended that the students know the concepts and general principles essential for the pharmacological treatment of the most frequent diseases in the population. Students must know the beneficial and harmful effects of drugs, their mechanism of action, the risk of interaction with other drugs and food, their use in case of poisoning and their main indications as well as contraindications.
The gender perspective will be an aspect that the teaching staff will take into account by making an inclusive and non-sexist use of language and promoting the equal participation of everyone in an inclusive environment both in master classes and in seminar sessions. The different pharmacological responses in both women and men will become visible. Female bibliographic references will be provided in the classroom to the extent that the subject allows it and the full first name of the authors will be used. Regarding the images of the content in the teaching material, the non-perpetuation of stereotypes will be encouraged.

SEMINARS:
They will consist of 3 two-hour sessions where the different concepts learned during the lectures will be worked on in an applied manner.
The resolution of these will have to be delivered according to the pre-established working groups at the beginning of each session.
The assessment system for the skills and learning outcomes of this subject includes different assessment activities for Subject 1 - Anatomo-physiopathology:

A system of quantitative (from 0 to 10) and qualitative (suspended, approved, notable, excellent, honorary registration) is used according to RD 1125/2003.
The total or partial copy in any of the learning activities means a "Not Presented" in the subject, without option to present in the proof of recovery and without prejudice of the opening of a file for this reason.
According to UPF regulations, students who have the option of retrieving the subject are those who have obtained a “suspended” grade, which are the only ones that can be modified in the recovery process.
The evaluation system and recovery period are detailed in the Learning Plan available in the virtual classroom at the beginning of the subject.
