Outcomes and Objectives
- Utilize appropriate treatment interventions with various wounds encountered in the physical therapy setting.
- Document findings and procedures accurately for treatment of a wound.
- Practice sterile debridement techniques using a mock wound.
- Demonstrate appropriate application and removal of dressings or agents based on a plan of care by the supervising therapist.
- Indicate precautions for dressing removal during mock wound treatment.
- Recognize changes within a wound that require evaluation by the physical therapist.
- Prepare a sterile field for wound care interventions.
- Identify appropriate materials used in a sterile field for wound care.
- Differentiate between medical and surgical asepsis.
- Demonstrate proper donning and doffing of personal protective equipment to reduce contamination of wound and environment.
- Effectively place wound treatment materials in a sterile field.
- Implement chest physical therapy techniques on a mock patient.
- Position patients appropriately for postural drainage of specific areas of the lungs.
- Demonstrate appropriate use of percussion to assist in secretion clearance in specific areas of the lungs.
- Demonstrate an appropriate deep cough technique to a patient with pulmonary issues given a case scenario.
- Demonstrate specific thoracic mobilization exercises to improve posture and thoracic mobility for more efficient breathing.
- Monitor vital signs during patient treatment including BP, HR, respiration rate, pulse oximetry, and SOB.
- Document a physical therapy treatment session using chest physical therapy and recognize what changes to report to the supervising PT.
- Describe the resting posture/position of a patient with a pulmonary diagnosis, including breathing pattern, body position, chest configuration, and use of accessory muscles.
- Practice cardiac monitoring/assessment on a mock patient.
- Palpate the following pulse points: carotid, brachial, radial, ulnar, femoral, popliteal, posterior tibial, and dorsalis pedis.
- Auscultate the heart valves using a stethoscope.
- Utilize the Borg RPE and MET scales for conditioning a mock patient with cardiac disease.
- Compare vital signs before, during, and after exercise.
- Demonstrate an understanding of common acute care/ICU equipment and interventions.
- Identify common equipment found in the ICU.
- Demonstrate basic patient mobility and transfer skills with a mock patient in the ICU.
- Perform a physical therapy treatment session on a mock patient in the ICU from a case scenario.
- Monitor and respond to a change in patient vital signs during simulation including:
- Changes in HR
- Changes in BP
- Changes in RR
- Changes in SpO2
- Cardiac Arrest
- Use appropriate action in emergency situations.
- Initiate BCLS procedures during mock emergency scenarios.
