Summarize the goal of the APTA’s Core Competencies for Entry Level Practice in Acute Care Physical Therapy
entry-level acute care PT, guided by sound acute care clinical decision-making, will be able to assist patients with achieving their optimal heath outcomes as part of physical therapy best practice in acute care
5 domains involved in the APTA’s Core Competencies
1 – Clinical Decision-Making (an integral component of all of the sections); 2 – Communication; 3 – Safety; 4 – Patient Management; and 5 – Discharge Planning
3 components required of a clinician in the acute care environment according to the APTA’s Core Competencies for Entry Level Practice in Acute Care
Safety, skills, D/C planning
scalene nerve blocks can inhibit the action of what
the diaphram
how should we breathe with COPD patients
pursed lip breathing
how to calculate MAP
MAP = SBP + 2 DBP / 3
calculate pulse pressure
SBP - DBP
how is oxygen handled
titrate but do not discontinue
line that monitors blood gas
