                                                 GENERAL INFORMATION

 

Affiliations are July 10 (7:00am) through Thursday August 10. (all students report to the college on Thursday August 10th for a final exam at 9:30 am). Students will attend for forty-hour, Monday-Friday, day-shift rotations in accordance with normal departmental hours.  There are NO HOLIDAYS OR SICK DAYS during this rotation.  A maximum of TWO make-up days may be scheduled.

 

PURPOSE OF COURSE

 

This clinical course is an extension of the experience begun during RESP 102.  The student will continue to perform routine respiratory therapy skills and integrate theory taught during the first year of the program.  The student must be familiar with the information from the major and support courses to take full advantage of the educational opportunities afforded at our clinical affiliates.  The LAST TWO WEEKS should be scheduled to include observation in the critical care units.  Students may perform any procedures covered by our clinical objectives and should be introduced to the critical care setting, patients, and technologies. 

 

DRESS

 

The student is expected to present a professional appearance while in the affiliate and should dress accordingly.  As per department guidelines, all students will wear navy blue scrubs with a CCP shoulder patch.  A white lab coat with a CCP shoulder patch sewn on the left shoulder will be worn to cover the scrubs outside of the units.  A name tag must identify you as a student and must include the department you are assigned to e.g., (RESP.  CARE.) All appropriate equipment (stethoscope, scissors, watch, pen, etc.) will be taken to clinical regularly.  Personal/oral hygiene must conform to local norms.  This should include regular bathing and hair washing.  Hair should be short or tied back so as not to dangle in the patient's face.  Minimal jewelry may be worn but no large earrings and/or rings which may become tangled in equipment or harm the patient.  Nails should be clean and trimmed with only conservative colors, if any, worn.  Perfumes and after  shaves must be lightly scented if worn due to the disease states of patients encountered.  Shoes should be chosen which offer good support since you will be on your feet for long periods of time.  Sneakers may be worn if they are leather-topped and conservative in color/style. 

 

 

ATTENDANCE

Normal departmental policy is in effect.  See attached policy statement.

 

EVALUATION

Students will be evaluated once during the semester using the attached form.  The form has multiple statements which are rated by the staff preceptors and clinical instructor.  To successfully complete the clinical, all statements must be rated as "ACCEPTABLE".  All clinical objectives must be satisfactorily completed.  These should be read before going to the hospital.  Final grade determined by 3 Patient Evaluations (TYPED ONLY) (25 points each), and multiple-choice exam (100) given on Thursday, August 11, 2005.

POLICY STATEMENT

ABSENCE FROM CLINICAL EXPERIENCE

 

 

 

1.         Students may make up due to illness, the total number of hours per semester equal to the number of hours that the course meets weekly.

(Exception: Summer Session Clinical Rotations employ a different formula. Students may make up One eight hour shift for ever 160 hours of clinical time.)

 

2.         A student who misses an excess of hours (as defined in #l ) must arrange a conference with the Clinical Coordinator as soon as possible.  Following the conference, one or more of the following decisions will be reached:

                       

                        a.         make up time will be scheduled

                        b.         a conference with the total faculty will be scheduled

                        c.         dismissal from the program

 

3.         Students who miss twice the number of hours above are beyond remedial help and may either be dropped from the program or given permission to repeat depending upon individual circumstances. However, no student may complete, or receive a grade for a clinical practice course in which twice the number of allowed hours have been missed unless the course is repeated.

 

4.         Students must notify the clinical instructor regarding absence in the clinical area PRIOR to the experience.

 

5.         If a student reports to the clinical area more than 30 minutes late, he/she may be directed to leave the area and the time missed will be counted as absentee time.

 

6.         Under no circumstances may the student engage in make-up time without being enrolled as a bona fide student.

Clinical Patient Evaluation Format

 

Each student will be expected to complete three (3) patient evaluations during the clinical rotation. The following outline should be used when writing your evaluations. All evaluation must be typed and will be graded on a 10 point scale.  Please hand in the evaluations to your Clinical Instructor.                

 

Patient evaluation process should include, but need not be limited to, information gathered from the patients medical record as well as from patient interviews and your own assessment results.

Note: proper abbreviations must be used throughout the assessment.

 

1.         Patient information:

Name, age. sex. race.

 

2.         A summary of the patient's chief complaint (CC):

 

3.         An assessment of the patients condition:

                        Vital Signs

                        Work of Breathing

                        Inspection and palpation of the chest

                        Breath Sounds

                        Inspection of the extremities

 

4.         A summary of the patient's history (H&P):

                        Smoking History

                        Related illness 

                        Occupational history

 

5.         An explanation of any pertinent lab results:

                        Blood Gas (ABG)

                        PFT

                        CBC, Hb, etc.

                        Chest X-ray results

 

6.         An explanation of the current Plan of Care:

                        Include all medications the patient is receiving and Why?

 

7.         Look for pertinent lab and subjective evaluation notes that will verify that the current plan of care is working. These might include:

                        Improved breath sounds after treatments

                        Improved CXR

                        Improved Peak Flow or PFT results

                        ABG changes

 

 

 I have reviewed the comprehensive final exam. Here is a list of topics I would suggest you review: 1) Patient Assessment; 2) all equipment taught in Resp 101, 102 and 103-there will be lots of questions about how to setup the right piece of equipment or how to troubleshoot it.(For example, O2 devices, Humidifiers and Nebs, all types of airways, Suctioning, cylinders); 3) CPT and administering CPR 4) pharmacology-drugs and how the Sympathetic/Parasympathetic nervous systems work; 5) The clinical math problems from 101-for example, changing from a mask to a  nasal cannula, entrainment ratios, duration of cylinders, continuous nebulization; 5) ABG interpretation (basic), incentive spirometry.
