CourseDescription / CourseDescription:
This courseintroduces students to the concept of thediseaseprocesses based on specificbodysystems. Most of the diseases would beseen in acaresetting wheremostnurse aides work. This class also reviews some basic skills forlifeand college. It will preparethestudents to perform the fundamental skills ofthe nurse assistant such as the basic nursing skills, communication skills, restorativeservices, and personal care skills. Safetyandemergencycareissues are covered, including knowledge and/or principles of asepsis, OSHA and HIPAA regulations. Ethical behaviors, cultural sensitivityand principles ofmental health willalso be addressed,as wellas patient/resident rights. Thestudents learn theskills necessaryforBasicLife Support and firstaid. Students will be able to applythe knowledge and skills in a clinical environment. Students are expected to participatein HOSA (Heath Occupation Students of America) whosepurposeis to promote career opportunities in health care and toprepare students to successfullypursue ahealth carecareer.
Introduces students to customer service theory and techniques specifically in the healthcare arena. This course will discuss therapeutic communication, conflict resolution and negotiation, as well as employee/employer relations. Exploration of diverse populations and cultural sensitivity will be addressed.
Demonstrates knowledge of medical terminology with emphasis on combining complex prefixes, roots and suffixes. Includes pathophysiology for major body systems. Includes terms related to diagnostic tools per body systems, as well as commonly used medical abbreviations. Applies medical terminology knowledge in interpreting the medical record.
HPR 116 - Computers in Health Care (1) Introduces the learner to the use of personal computer technology and the concepts of software applicable to health care. Basic features of selected software, terminology related to hardware, software and online resources (which include PC, word processing, e-mail) and electronic health-based research will be emphasized. Provides opportunities for practical applications of computer skills to nursing care.
