Anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, microbiology and basic first aid. Subject 3
This subject shall provide knowledge about the human body's structure and functioning, biochemical processes that are important in living organisms and micro-organisms that can cause infections. The subject shall also provide knowledge about basic first aid with emphasis on basic cardiopulmonary resuscitation and first aid for injuries.

- Is familiar with the main features of the distinctive historical and theoretical characteristics of his/her professional field and their relevance to nursing
- Can find research-based literature in his/her professional field
- Has a knowledge of research and professional development in the subject
- Has a knowledge of human anatomy
- Has a knowledge of physiological and biochemical processes
- Has a knowledge of the field of microbiology and of how important the subject is in diagnostics, treatment and care
- Can give an account of the most common micro-organisms and infections they can cause
- Can explain hygienic principles in nursing
- Has a knowledge of anatomy, physiology, biochemistry and microbiology in order to be able to make use of this in the practice of basic nursing
- Has a knowledge of and can perform basic cardiopulmonary resuscitation
- Has a knowledge of and can perform first aid for injuries
