Description


Nursing Care Methodology is a compulsory subject that is taken during the third term of the first year and is linked to the subject Historical and Philosophical Evolution of the Degree in Nursing Care.

In this subject, the student will carry out nursing care plans through the process of clinical nursing reasoning and effective communication with the people he or she cares for. It allows at the same time an individualized action, either with the application of the different nursing models worked during the first trimester, as with the use of its own standardized language in the cares. The backbone of the whole subject will be this care plan, a basic tool that structures the nursing work that will be used, both in its learning process during its training in the Degree and in any of the areas where it will develop the his future professional work.

In this subject the student will acquire skills that will allow him to develop his thinking and clinical reasoning, choose the nursing model that best suits the current clinical situation of the person, make a complete and individualized nursing assessment taking into account the different nursing models, interpreting the nursing assessment, detecting possible nursing diagnoses arising from the nursing assessment and planning objectives with the respective interventions and activities. At all times the student will be able to evaluate and re-evaluate the whole process taking into account the person as a unique and personal being who lives in a situation of constant change in a specific environment and time, through different clinical cases that are will present.

The student will know different terminologies of nursing language that are currently used in the different areas of care so that he can interpret and use in the process of nursing care, both in the different subjects of the Degree in Nursing and in its development as a future Nursing professional.

This subject has methodological and digital resources to make possible its continuity in non-contact mode in the case of being necessary for reasons related to the Covid-19. In this way, the achievement of the same knowledge and skills that are specified in this teaching plan will be ensured.


The TecnoCampus will make available to teachers and students the digital tools needed to carry out the course, as well as guides and recommendations that facilitate adaptation to the non-contact mode.
