VI.COURSE OBJECTIVES:
Upon successful completion of the lecture and lab portions of the course, the student will have demonstrated:
1.Discuss the fetal development from conception to birth.
2.Identify the therapist’s role in a high risk delivery.
3.Assessing the newborn to determine APGAR score and intervention as needed.
4.Recognize cardiac and pulmonary anomalies/diseases and the treatment that is indicated.
5.Describe monitoring and testing specific to this population.
6.Recognizeand apply oxygen and specialty gases.
7.Determine appropriateness of air and land transportation of patient.
8.Identify and perform methods of resuscitation.
9.Identify the modes and application of mechanical ventilation.
VII.COURSE METHODOLOGY:
Students will be required to participate in traditional lectures, group discussions, assignments, interactive proceedings; critical thinking exercises, role-playing in the human patient simulation lab, written examinations, and clinical practice. The instructor will demonstrate skills and students will be expected to return the demonstration. Competency evaluations will be utilized in the lab and clinical settings.
VIII.GRADING
A = 93 – 100
