Sustainable Development Goals
Learning Goals
Objectives
• Understanding the rehabilitation process in disrupting the health of adults and the elderly
• Understand the principles in body mechanics applied to the context of care
• Understand the disorders of the health-disease process of the Elderly (geriatrics)
• Understanding nursing care for adults and elderly people with acute and chronic medical conditions
• Understanding nursing care for adults and the elderly with traumatic musculoskeletal injuries
Skills:
-Reveals knowledge and understanding about the health-disease situations of the medical field that affect adults and the elderly.
-Applies knowledge and understands simulated laboratory situations
-Makes judgments and makes decisions, with help, in the context of simulated practice.
- Communicates opinions and ideas about situations in the present situation using the nursing process methodology
- Reveals ability to self-learn through reading and text analysis.

Teaching Methods
TStudent-centered teaching methodologies promote and facilitate skill development. The theoretical component takes place in the classroom using collaborative learning methodologies, Case-Based Learning (CBL) activities, and a flipped classroom, within the scope of each thematic module.
The laboratory practicals component is developed in laboratories with low- and medium-fidelity simulation equipment. The laboratory practicals methodology is simulation aimed at developing clinical reasoning, decision-making skills, and confidence. SimZone 0 (fundamental skills training with directive feedback) and SimZone 1 (skill transfer to simulated scenarios with less directive feedback and debriefing) levels are used.
Theoretical sessions are essential for guiding students in the laboratory simulation sessions. The simulation and instructor-led practicals are based on previously acquired theoretical concepts.

Assessment
The theoretical assessment consists of two individual tests.
The practical assessment is conducted through two tests. The grade is determined using observation grids that are presented to students in advance and are available in the UC's MOODLE area.
To pass the theoretical component, the arithmetic average of the two tests must be 9.5 points or higher.
To pass the practical component, both tests must have a grade of 9.5 points or higher. Additionally, to qualify for the course, students must have attended at least 75% of the Laboratory Practice classes (Article 105, paragraph 1 of the RAUE).
Students who do not achieve the minimum grade are subject to a final assessment, which may include:
· Theoretical Component Test and/or Practical Component Test
· Only students who have attended at least 75% of the Laboratory Practice classes are eligible for the final assessment of the practical component. To pass the course, students must obtain a minimum score of 9.5 in each assessment component.
The final grade is calculated by the weighted average of the following factors: Theoretical component assessment*75% + Practical laboratory component assessment*25%.
