The first consists of 26 close and open questions, the second of 10 actions to carry out in the dialytic procedure.
Results: in statistical analysis was not significance between the knowledge and the realization of the practice. In the cognitive area the average of assimilation of the knowiedge was from the 82%, and the psychomotor was just the 64%.
