Clinical Manifestations and Emergencies in the Oncologic Patient

A complete program that will help you to know the most up-to-date protocols and techniques of the moment’’

To ensure proper patient monitoring, it is essential that the student learns to determine the causes and factors related to the onset of symptoms. Detailed learning of the semiology and examination methods will allow to carry out a well-founded medical history with which to build care plans adapted to the patient.

This program has been structured by grouping the symptoms according to the system or apparatus affected, including both mild and more serious manifestations. The aim is for the professional to be able to perform a complete assessment of the patient and their environment, responding to the urgent signs and symptoms, but without neglecting the other elements and factors that make up the patient and condition their health.

It must be taken into account that the therapeutic management of pain is a topic of special relevance. In addition to being one of the most frequent symptoms, pain produces great fear and impact on both the patient and their family. In this sense, the student will understand the basis of oncologic pain, its multidimensional nature and the need for a comprehensive assessment. The study of analgesic modalities will allow them to abandon myths and prejudices that, even today, persist among health professionals.

Upon completion, the specialized nurse will have the necessary knowledge to carry out advanced clinical practice and will be able to develop care plans adapted to the symptoms presented by the patient at each stage of their disease, providing quality care and ensuring their safety.

The up-to-date contents of this program and its integrative approach will result in a comprehensive view on all aspects related to oncology nursing. The contents will provide a journey through the diverse needs of cancer patients, whose particularities require personalized attention.

Both the design of the program and the didactic material used will facilitate the understanding of concepts, and the realization of practical cases will help to adapt what has been learned to clinical practice. In this way, this Professional Master’s Degree will provide immersive learning in order to prepare professionals for real situations in their daily professional practice.
