HEALTH SCIENCES JUNIORS Health Sciences Course Description The Health Sciences program teaches the skills necessary for a foundation in healthcare. Through a combination of classroom activities and actual on-the-job clinical experiences in nursing homes, hospitals, and physician's offices, students learn human anatomy and physiology, medical terminology, disease processes, CPR, first aid, vital signs, human relation skills, and basic healthcare skills. It is imperative to be able to think and reason for this career field. Upon completion of the program, students may have the opportunity to take the Missouri State Test as a Certified Nurse s Assistant exam. If the student passes the exam with an 80 percent and has completed all clinical requirements, he or she may be certified as a nurse s assistant by the State of Missouri. Seniors may qualify to attend an off-campus program in a nearby acute care hospital or nursing home. Graduates may qualify for advanced standing at the college level. Off-Campus Clinical Program As a pre-requisite to participating in the off campus Health Sciences program, students must provide proof of: a negative tuberculin skin test or negative chest x-ray; a negative five panel urine drug screen; a clear criminal background check; and a medical exam indicating ability to participate in the Health Sciences Program. Students must also initiate a series of Hepatitis A vaccines. For those who qualify, the off-campus program includes a component in which students provide direct care to patients in a clinical setting. The clinical assignments are dependent on the job duties assigned to students by the acute care hospital or nursing home. Students will receive instruction in and must have the physical ability to perform a variety of tasks including but not limited to: bathing patients and attending to their personal hygiene needs; repositioning and ambulating patients; assisting patients with bedpans, urinals and commodes; turning and repositioning patients; lifting patients or items weighing at least 25 pounds and up to 75 pounds; pushing or pulling patients or items weighing at least 40 pounds and up to an average of 75 pounds; feeding patients and passing patients meal trays; and cleaning patients rooms. Students will receive instruction in and will be required to master correct body mechanics and body substance precautions. Students must be able to use correct safety techniques and initiate fall precautions within the policies and procedures of the clinical setting. Students in the off-campus program will likely be exposed to: needles or other sharp objects; toxic/caustic chemicals; dust/fumes/gases (including asbestos); bio-hazardous waste; potential electric shock; x-ray electromagnetic energy; blood or body fluids; and communicable diseases including but not limited to Cytomegalovirus ( CMV ), Parvovirus, Tuberculosis, HIV, Staphylococcus, and Hepatitis. Because providing direct patient care is physically demanding, students must be able to meet the required physical demands of their clinical assignment. These physical demands may include extended periods of: lifting; standing; walking; running to respond to patient emergencies; stooping; kneeling; crouching; climbing stairs; maintaining good balance; using a two hand carry; gripping and pinching; performing frequent repetitive motions; trunk flexion and rotation; and hand coordination, including reaching, grasping, fingering or feeling. Students must have sufficient visual and audio acuity necessary to perform patient care. A change in physical status that requires activity limitation may result in the need for a student to take a leave of absence from the Health Sciences program. Students in the off-campus program must be able to support the patient care team while learning under the direction of the SSD instructor and clinical site staff. Students must promote team-building with the SSD and clinical site staff by maintaining an attitude which promotes a healthy, supportive environment for residents and staff. Students must demonstrate behaviors which promote professionalism in the areas of: communication; organization; attire; and demeanor. Due to the patient focused objective of this learning experience, insubordination and disrespectful behavior is not allowed and students must exhibit good interpersonal skills. Students must be good stewards of the clinical site s resources. Students must strictly follow patient confidentiality requirements. Attendance The State of Missouri requires that students who are enrolled in the Certified Nurse Assistant program complete 75 hours of classroom instruction and 100 clinical hours. Students who are absent from school while enrolled in this program may be ineligible to take the Missouri State Certified Nurse Assistant Exam or attend the off-site clinical program. The Health Sciences program does not allow for an entire semester of independent study.

HEALTH SCIENCES JUNIORS Junior Year Clinical Policy Health Sciences is a two-year major at North Technical High School beginning the Junior year with the goal of certifying as a nurse assistant through the State of Missouri Senior year. Per State of Missouri regulations, students must complete 75 hours of classroom instruction and demonstrate proficiency in 64 skills before entering into any clinical facility serving long term care clients to complete 100 clinical hours required for nurse assistant certification. As part of the learning process, students at the Junior level will be having clinical shadowing experiences at a local long term care facility. Students will be providing limited patient care services to geriatric patients to be better prepared for the Senior level clinical experience. Clinical experiences at the Junior level is a privilege for students who exhibit continued competence in the 64 essential skills required for certification. To attend the clinical experience, students must pass a Vital Signs Proficiency Test with a score of 100%. If a student scores less than 100% on the Proficiency Test, students will remain in the classroom until a 100% is achieved. In addition, students exhibiting issues with attendance and discipline will also be prohibited from attending clinical experiences. Part of the 64 essential skills includes demonstration of proficiency in measuring and recording vital signs. Obtaining vital signs is an integral part of providing quality health care to all and includes accurate measurement and interpretation of blood pressure, temperature, pulse, and respirations. Monitoring vital signs is a fundamental component of health care essential to identifying clinical deterioration in a client s condition. Inaccurate recording of measurements in vital sign interfere with appropriate and timely interventions for clients. Related to the importance of mastering the skill of obtaining vital signs, Junior level students must demonstrate proficiency in measuring and recording vital signs for the instructors, both in the classroom and in the long term care clinical setting. Vital sign proficiency will be assessed by the end of second semester of Junior year through clinical experience after classroom instruction. *Inability to demonstrate proficiency in any of the 64 CNA skills taught Junior year including, but not limited to, measuring and recording vital signs, will result in students being ineligible to take the State of Missouri Nurse Assistant Certification Test Senior year.* I acknowledge I have received and understand the information provided in the Junior Year Clinical Policy and requirements for certification as a nurse assistant listed by the State of Missouri.

Students will receive instruction in and must have the physical ability to perform a variety of tasks including but not limited to; bathing patients and attending to their personal hygiene needs; repositioning and ambulating patients; assisting patients with bedpans, urinals and commodes; turning and repositioning patients; lifting patients or items weighting at least 25 pounds and up to 75 pounds; pushing or pulling patients or items weighing a least 40 pounds and up to an average of 75 pounds; feeding patients and passing patients meal trays; and cleaning patients rooms. Students will receive instruction in and will be required to master correct body mechanics and body substance precautions. Students must be able to use correct safety techniques and initiate fall precautions within the policies and procedures of the clinical setting. Students in the off-campus program will likely be exposed to: needles or other sharp objects; toxic/caustic chemicals; dust/fumes/gases (including asbestos); bio-hazardous waste; potential electric shock; x-ray electromagnetic energy; blood or body fluids; and communication diseases including but not limited to Cytomegalovirus ( CMV ), Parvovirus, Tuberculosis, HIV, Staphylococcus, and Hepatitis.

Because providing direct patient care is physically demanding, students must be able to meet the required physical demands of their clinical assignment. These physical demands may include extended periods of: lifting; standing; walking; running to respond to patient emergencies; stooping; kneeling; crouching; climbing stairs; maintaining good balance; using a two hand carry; gripping and pinching; performing frequent repetitive motions; trunk flexion and rotation; and hand coordination, including reaching, grasping, fingering or feeling. Students must have sufficient visual and audio acuity necessary to perform patient care. A change in physical status that requires activity limitation may result in the need for a student to take a leave of absence from the Health Sciences program. Students in the off-campus program must be able to support the patient care team while learning under the direction of the SSD instructor and clinical site staff. Students must promote team-building with the SSD and clinical site staff by maintaining an attitude which promotes a healthy, supportive environment for residents and staff. Students must demonstrate behaviors which promote professionalism in the arears of: communication; organization; attire; and demeanor. Due to the patient focused objective of this learning experience, insubordination and disrespectful behavior is not allowed and students must exhibit good interpersonal skills. Students must be good stewards of the clinical site s resources. Students must strictly follow patient confidentially requirements. Attendance The State of Missouri requires that students enrolled in the Certified Nurse Assistant program complete 75 hours of classroom instruction and 100 clinical hours. Students who are absent from school while enrolled in this program may be ineligible to take the Missouri State Certified Nurse Assistant Exam or attend the off-site clinical program. The Health Sciences program does not allow for an entire semester of independent study.

VETERINARY ASSISTANT PROGRAM NOTE: Ms. Koehler s 1 st hour class for first year students will have a separate syllabus handed out on the first day of class by Ms. Koehler. Uniform: 1) For Juniors, students will be assigned either RED TOPS or HUNTER GREEN TOPS based on their last names. Students will be assigned a color on the first day of school and will have 1 week to buy the scrubs. It is very important that the scrubs are these exact colors since this determines which lab group they are in. Other shades of these will be asked to be returned. Students may wear any color bottoms they choose. Seniors are allowed to wear any top or bottom they choose. 2) Tennis shoes are the only type of shoe allowed when working with animals. They may be any color and must be tied. 3) NO hoop earrings are allowed at any time when working with animals. NO necklaces will be worn in shop either. These are very serious safety concerns when working with unpredictable animals and they are taken seriously in this program. 4) NO long fingernails. When looking at the palm of the hand, nails should not be able to be seen. Veterinary team members, whether male or female, just do not wear long nails. This is a very serious sanitary issue and it is taken seriously in this program. 4) Juniors are expected to be in uniform WHEN THEY ARRIVE TO ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY at 7:30. This is the first class of every day. Juniors changing into scrubs upon arrival to anatomy will be marked as tardy. Seniors will be allowed 10 minutes to change into their uniforms between 12:00 and 12:10 each day. 5) IMPORTANT- Any failure to meet the above requirements will result in students being sent immediately to the in-school suspension room for the remainder of anatomy and veterinary class. Warnings will not be given, but students will be reminded of these policies on the first day of school. Other materials suggested for veterinary class. 1. 2 three-ring binders, 1 for anatomy and 1 for veterinary 2. 1 large notebook for anatomy and 1 small notebook for veterinary 3. Approximately 300 3x5 index cards for vocabulary flash cards. Also, a plastic index card case is highly recommended. Students will have 20 new vocabulary cards each week, year-round. A final note: Students will receive a daily class participation grade for being dressed in proper uniform and having supplies and homework brought into the classroom when class begins. Students will lose daily class participation points when they are not prepared and on time. Remember, the technical programs are job-prep programs and students will have the same responsibility expectations as someone who is working in the veterinary field.
