1.1-Introducing the conceptual aspects of body mechanics.
Module 2 Secured assisting technics for bedridden person
2.1- Know the principles to move the bedridden person, in sessions of simulated laboratory practices.
2.2- Know the principles to transfer the bedridden person, in sessions of simulated laboratory practices.

Teaching Methods

The hybrid format is use in the course, at B-Learning model, with theorical sessions developed according to an online methodology. That presents and explains the main concepts, supported on a component of collaborative interpretation of scientific studies on the themes. The sessions of simulated laboratory practices begin with a demonstration moment, followed by the resolution of case studies under the guidance of the teacher. Participants carry out the procedures, planning and execution the different techniques.

Assessment

The assessment includes two components: collaborative activities (25%) and participating in simulated practice sessions (75%). In accordance with the Academic Regulations, students can choose the final assessment method.
