Learning Goals

The student is expected to:
• Demonstrate a high level of understanding about the principles of the pathophysiology of the person in a critical situation.
• Relate the knowledge of pathophysiology to signs and symptoms of the person in critical condition.
• Identify the main areas of intervention in the therapeutic support and substitution in the treatment of the person in a critical situation.
• Conduct research on good practices for people in critical situations, based on the available scientific evidence and on the grounded critical assessment of clinical practice.
• Systematize the main results about the research area.

• Cardiovascular
• Neurological
• Musculoskeletal
• Gastrointestinal
• Genitourinary and nephrological
• Endocrine and Metabolic

Teaching Methods

Active participatory method, with discussion of themes, valuing the students' experience in the analysis, reflection and discussion of themes. Reflection that values cognitive and interpersonal processes will be stimulated, advocating the acquisition and development of concepts, problem solving, based on diagnostic assessment, planning and intervention, constant research and practical work where aspects of therapeutic intervention in nursing are clearly identified. Problem solving will be based on problem-based learning (PBL), MAES methodology and simulation strategy. Students, faced with real problems, build scenarios according to the MAES methodology.

Assessment

The evaluation will be conducted as follows:
a) Preparation of group scenarios based on the themes covered in the theoretical classes, 50% of the final grade;
b) Training of scenarios using simulation;
c) Application of the scenarios using medium and high-fidelity simulation, according to the three stages: briefing, scenario development, and debriefing 50% of the final grade.
Theoretical-practical classes are mandatory attendance, at least 75% of all classes.
Students who do not reach the minimum classification equal to or greater than 9.5 are subject to final evaluation, which may include:
? Theoretical and Practical Test
? Only students who have attended at least 75% of the theoretical/practical component classes have access to the theoretical/practical component test.
