Advanced Patient Care Description As the role of the medical imaging professional continues to expand, more knowledge is needed in all areas. Patient care is no exception. Advanced patient care skills are essential elements of providing high-quality patient care. This course focuses on patient education, assessment, communication, preprocedural and postprocedural care and proper charting and documentation. Technologists’ responsibilities and intervention in cases of critical patient need also will be discussed. Objectives 1. Describe the areas required for patient education in medical imaging. 2. Contribute to treatment plan based on a patient assessment. 3. Define the types of communication and describe how each should or should not be used. 4. Perform proper charting and documentation using manual or electronic formats. 5. Analyze a situation requiring drug dispensing to determine the proper drug amount and route of administration. 6. List the parameters used in the current American Heart Association (AHA) Advanced Cardiac Life Support Guidelines. 7. Recognize normal and abnormal cardiac rhythms. 85 © Copyright 2011 by the American Society of Radiologic Technologists. All rights reserved.
Advanced Sectional Anatomy Description The ability to locate and identify structures in the axial (transverse), sagittal, coronal and orthogonal (oblique) planes is critical in all imaging modalities. Volumetric data sets and threedimensional reconstruction of the body structures are increasingly important to the critical diagnosis and treatment of diseases. To enhance patient care and assist physicians with the prognosis, radiologic science professionals must understand cross-sectional anatomy in each of the imaging modalities. Objectives 1. Distinguish normal anatomical structures on CT, MR ,ultrasound, nuclear medicine, fusion interventional and cardiac catheterization lab images in the transverse axial, coronal, sagittal and orthogonal (oblique) cross-sectional imaging planes common to each modality within the: a. Head b. Neck c. Thorax d. Abdomen e. Pelvis f. Body imaging g. Extremities – large joints 2. Distinguish common pathologies recorded on multiplanar images. 86 © Copyright 2011 by the American Society of Radiologic Technologists. All rights reserved.
