As nurses we want to ensure that our knowledge and skills in nursing procedures are always updated. We can read a lot of them and have the knowledge but it is different if we have the developed a certain level of skill acquisition, particularly in this time of new technology. For this reason, CCNAPI is offering a course focusing on common nursing procedures. | COURSE DESCRIPTION: With the rapid advancement of nursing practice and massive use of highly technical machines, the nursing profession continues to keep pace with a market of a driven health care system that requires increasingly complex nursing care. These procedures are most common to patients with respiratory problems. More so, nurses must able to be familiar with these procedures to be able to cope up with the diverse needs of its patients with respiratory needs. This 3 day program with lecture and workshop will be done to enhance nurses knowledge and skill as they care for patients with respiratory problems. | COURSE DESCRIPTION: This is a two-day workshop for nurses that will allow skill development on the common nursing procedures through hands-on opportunity guided by preceptors in a simulated environment. The focus of this course is basic procedures that nurses often perform in their daily duties. | OBJECTIVES: 1. Discuss respiratory physiology, breathing mechanics and normal and abnormal lung sounds. 2. Identify the principles behind the effective use of airway adjuncts and mechanical ventilation. 3. Airway and breathing management. 4. Interpret arterial blood gas results. 5. Formulate nursing care plans for patients with respiratory problem and with mechanical ventilation. 6.
