Written Assignments Learning
Outcome(s)
1. Identify variables in the local environment (at 3, 4
home, at work, and in general) that predispose
individuals to respiratory and cardiovascular
dysfunction. Note other variables that affect
respiratory and cardiovascular function. What can
nurses do individually and collectively to promote
pollution-free environments and minimize negative
factors?
2. Write a brief report describing the principles of 1, 2
respiratory and cardiovascular anatomy and
physiology.
3. Develop a sample list of diagnoses with 6
appropriate nursing interventions related to
oxygenation problems.
, Group Assignments Learning Outcomes
1. Role-play performing a physical assessment of 4
cardiopulmonary function on a partner. As your
teacher is guiding you through each sequence of
inspection, palpation, percussion, and auscultation,
you should discuss all possible normal and abnormal
findings.
2. Your teacher will divide the class into small groups 6, 7
and provide you with the equipment to demonstrate
and practice the following procedures:
Use of the incentive spirometer
Pursed-lip breathing
Postural drainage
Suctioning
Clinical Assignments Learning Outcomes
1. Your teacher will assemble oxygen administration 6, 7
equipment (nasal cannula, nasal catheter, transtracheal
catheter, and oxygen masks and tent) as well as
artificial airway equipment (oropharyngeal airway,
