Associated Term:
Fall 2020
Learning Objectives: Upon successful completion of this course, the student should be able to: 1. Demonstrate adherence to practice standards by identifying self as “student physical therapist assistant” during instruction and examination 2. Document accurately and thoroughly during patient case simulations using SOAP and accepted medical format. 3. Interview patient to obtain relevant history, level of function, subjective information, and patient-specific concerns and/or goals related to the physical therapy encounter 4. Seek feedback from the supervising physical therapist on decision-making for selected interventions prior to initiating a simulated treatment session 5. Identify how cultural information noted in the patient history may inform effective communication strategies during patient care 6. Demonstrate appropriate draping techniques to protect patient privacy and prevent exposure during simulated patient care 7. Consistently wash hands thoroughly before and after patient contact to prevent the spread of infection 8. Demonstrate proper lifting mechanics/body mechanics during simulated patient care activities. 9. Use principles of motor learning to improve selected gross mobility skills during a simulated patient case 10. Safely perform appropriate transfers for patients requiring a range of assistance in the following situations: bed to/from wheelchair, bed positioning and repositioning, supine to/from sitting, sit to/from stand. 11. Safely perform appropriate wheelchair locomotion, management and training for simulated patients requiring a range of assistance. 12. Apply compression for soft tissue and/or joint protection during a case simulation. 13. Demonstrate safe and effective application of the following physical agents to a person with a simulated musculoskeletal or neuromuscular impairment: a. ice massage; b. ice pack; c. hot pack; d. ultrasound; e. electrical stimulation 14. Demonstrate the safe application of selected manual therapy techniques during a simulated case: a. passive range of motion; b. basic massage 15. Measure vital signs (HR, RR, O2 sat, BP) accurately. 16. Measure and record: a. patient agreement/consent to proposed interventions in the physical therapy plan of care; b. standard vital signs at rest and as needed based on the patient response during simulated treatment; c. pain levels before, during, and after simulated treatment; d. skin condition before and/or after a simulated mobility, biophysical agent and compression intervention; e. presence and/or absence of sensation prior to application of a biophysical agent; f. appropriateness of fit for a standard wheelchair; g. assistance levels (e.g. level of supervision, percentage physical assist) during selected simulated gross mobility activities 17. Modify the treatment and/or intervention according to the pain response during case simulation. 18. Assess the patient response to treatment as it relates to progress toward functional and measurable goals within the physical therapy plan of care during case simulation 19. Recognize and communicate the need for additional information or reassessment from the supervising physical therapist for each of the physical therapy interventions and simulated patient care activities in the course. 20. Defend clinical decision-making during practice and examination by including sound knowledge of contemporary practice patterns. Required Materials: Technical Requirements: |
