Pediatric Nursing and Obstetric

Veterinary Nursing
  • ApresentaçãoPresentation
    This curricular unit's main objective is to prepare the student for the clinical approach to a pediatric patient, providing them with an individual approach as well as a collective approach to the patient. It continues beyond the topics covered in Reproduction and Obstetrics. Since small animal pediatrics is an area that is little covered in the course of study, this subject ends up filling the gap that will be lacking even in the clinical area of veterinary nursing.
