| Contents | The course introduces students to the epistemological foundations of nursing through a historical and theoretical framework. The nursing process as a clinical care method is explored, analyzing its phases (assessment, nursing diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation) and the role of critical thinking and clinical reasoning in healthcare decision-making. The course also addresses the acquisition of basic technical and practical skills necessary for clinical practice, with particular attention to safety and the prevention of clinical risk in the administration of drug therapy. The phases of the drug administration process, the main routes of administration, the necessary materials and devices, as well as the principles of pharmacovigilance and professional responsibility will be covered. The course aims to integrate theoretical knowledge and practical skills, promoting the acquisition of informed, safe, and evidence-based professional behavior. |
