PT 723 Examination & Documentation III
Using the multisystem cases from tutorial, students will examine clinical tests and measurements to assess ventilation, respiration, circulation, aerobic capacity, and endurance for patients with problems of the cardiovascular, peripheral vascular, pulmonary and integumentary systems, as well as special tests and measurements that might apply to other medically complex patients. Students will develop an understanding of how patient data and documentation systems are used to develop diagnoses and patient classification systems that direct patient care, support inter-professional communication, and provide a rationale for the patient’s plan of care. Students will analyze presented data from a patient group to address one or more clinical questions relevant to that patient group. Diagnostic screening and implications of findings for referral to other health care practitioners will also be included.
