Course details
In the second preceptorship course, learners apply and integrate nursing knowledge to provide care for pediatric patients recovering from surgery and procedural anesthesia and their families. Learners will further develop their comprehensive assessment skills by providing safe, competent, and ethical nursing care for patients requiring ventilation support, hemodynamic monitoring, pain assessment, fluid management, ECG interpretation and emergence delirium in collaboration with their preceptors. Working in partnership with patients and families, students will develop an understanding of unique patient and family situations. Students will have opportunities to think critically and develop their clinical decision-making skills, selecting and evaluating therapeutic interventions that support patients’ recovery and preventing shock and cardiac and respiratory arrest. They’ll continue to reflect on ethical issues and how to provide collaborative, family-centred care. Through the use of learning activities (case studies, application of a clinical decision-making framework, journaling and personal reflection), learners are provided with opportunities to build on the communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and systematic inquiry skills necessary to provide child and family-centred care in the pediatric anesthesia care setting.
