RESP 2235 - Clinical Practicum III 5 Credits
A progression of Clinical Practicum II, this course provides students the opportunity to further synthesize all respiratory care learning, principles of physics, pulmonary anatomy and physiology, acid-base, and a more expanded knowledge base and critical care skill set to care for complex medical patients across the life span in clinical care settings including patients on mechanical ventilation in critical care units. Students will competently initiate, deliver, monitor, evaluate effectiveness, and modify respiratory plans of care and respiratory therapeutics. Students will further refine oral and written communication with patients, families, and the health care team. Lab/Hospital.
Prerequisite: RESP 2234 Clinical Practicum II; RESP 2103 Applications of Respiratory Care; RESP 2112 Resuscitation Techniques
Corequisite: RESP 2221 Professional Development; RESP 2224 Neonatal/Pediatric Respiratory Care
Lab/Hospital. Course Level Objectives
