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. This includes patients with problems of the cardiovascular, peripheral vascular, pulmonary, and integumentary systems, as well as special tests and measurements that might apply to patients with multi-system disorders. Students will develop an understanding of how patient data and documentation systems are used to direct patient care, support inter-professional communication, and provide a rationale for the patient’s plan of care. Students will establish differential diagnoses as well as determine the implications of findings and the need for referral to other health care practitioners. A series of structured clinical exposures serve as a mechanism for understanding clinical relevance to practice and patient care.
