Abstract

The Course of Post-graduate in Nursing with Specialization in Medical-Surgical Nursing constituted a fundamental strategy for the acquisition of high levels of critical thinking and decision-making, translated into a set of specific skills that are intended to improve the nursing care provided to the adult patient in critical situation and/or organ failure, at a deeper level of knowledge and skills. This Report sought to give visibility to solutions developed for the identified situations/problem, reflect on and about the activities and their ethical and social implications and properly communicate the conclusions drawn during the Emergency Service (ES), Multivalent Intensive Care Unit (MICU) and Pre-hospital Assistance (PHA) Modules.

This report aims to give a clear understanding of the ability to identify and analyse problems, develop strategies, implement solutions, demonstrate the ability to reflect on the actions taken and their ethical and social implications. With this report I also demonstrate the importance of the course of three modules in the acquisition of skills and the need for constant mobilization of knowledge necessary for the journey of lifelong learning and personal enrichment and professional indispensable to the full performance of the function of EEMC.

This long walk will have a key role in future actions, providing tools for improving the daily
