The principles and theories from the RC 330 course will be applied in a controlled laboratory setting. Laboratory exercises will cover advanced physical assessment of adults, children, and newborns; care and management of pediatric and neonatal patients; and the use of equipment and procedures to alleviate diseases and conditions affecting newborns and adolescents The application of principles and theory covered in RC 331 will be provided in a campus laboratory setting. Laboratory exercises will include: airway care, all phases of mechanical ventilation, hemodynamic monitoring and advanced cardiology. Additionally, it will address assisting in emergency interventions; such as, thoracentesis, chest tubes and advanced cardiac life support.
Principles and theories from RC 332 will be applied in a campus laboratory setting. Laboratory exercises will focus on advanced topics pertaining to invasive and non-invasive cardiac monitoring, advanced cardiac life support simulations, and disaster preparedness. The student will be placed in selected clinical sites to observe, practice and become proficient in the performance of skills, procedures and / or modalities addressed in the RC 330, RC 331, and RC 340 and RC 341. While skill development and refinement will continue for all previously covered topics, the focus of this course will be advanced topics in physical assessment of the adult, child and newborn, care and management of the pediatric and neonatal patient, equipment and procedures employed in pulmonary rehabilitation, skilled nursing facilities and home care, and advanced topics in the area of pulmonary diagnostics, bronchoscopy and sleep studies. The student will be placed in selected clinical sites to observe, practice and become proficient in the performance of skills, procedures and / or modalities addressed in the RC 330, RC 331, RC 340 and RC 341. While skill development and refinement will continue for all previously covered topics, the focus of this course will be: airway care, all phases of mechanical ventilation, hemodynamic monitoring, advanced cardiology, and assisting in emergency interventions; such as, thoracentesis, chest tubes and advanced cardiac life support.
This course will address the principles and practice of performing / conducting research. The course will help the student identify, review and intelligently describe the results of selected cardiopulmonary journals and articles, as well as culminate in the provision of a comprehensive research project. Additionally, as a capstone course, it will address the following issues: health promotion, community service, ethical and professional issues, GMERCYU learning outcomes, and core values of a distinctive Mercy graduate.
