DNP821 Introduction to Principles of Anesthesia Practice Lab (1 cr.)

Prerequisite(s): none
Concurrent course: DNP820 
This lab is the first of three simulation courses that applies content learned in the principles of anesthesia classroom setting. The purpose of this lab is to provide clinical training for student registered nurse anesthetists in a simulation setting. Application is demonstrated via individual simulated patient scenarios and collaborative, team-based anesthesia delivery scenarios to improve students’ patient care skills and clinical decision making abilities.

Upon completion of this course, students are expected to be able to do the following:

1. Provide competent and evidence-based anesthesia care based on the clinical scenario provided.
2. Describe anatomical and physiologic changes that impact anesthesia care delivery planning.
3. Identify how delivery of anesthesia care affects patient outcome if they have an altered state of physical health according to the topic presented.
4. Illustrate alternate patient care strategies that could be expected to yield alternate outcomes to develop modifications to behavior and judgment based on evidence and best practices.
5. Plan for alterations and/ or changes in practice to insure negative patient outcomes are avoided.
