This course is an updated version of Evaluation of the Pulmonary Patient (V7157).
Respiratory therapists are relied on to communicate effectively and function responsibly on behalf of their patients, as well as demonstrate accurate evaluation of the cardiopulmonary system and have the ability to identify signs and symptoms associated with cardiopulmonary disturbances or disease. They are also required to employ and interpret available diagnostic tests to ascertain and quantify the degree of abnormality. This course presents a step-by-step evaluation procedure that includes interview, observation of the patient and physical surroundings, details of a complete physical examination and chest examination, medical record review, and documentation. This information is followed by discussion of typical diagnostic tools performed and or interpreted by the respiratory therapist.
