A. HEALTH CARE FUNDAMENTALS OVERALL EXPECTATIONS
By the end of this course, students will:
A1. demonstrate an understanding of health care terminology and its correct usage;
A2. demonstrate a basic understanding of human anatomy and physiology;
A3. demonstrate an understanding of homeostasis and its relationship to personal health; A4. describe the relationship between lifestyle choices and personal health and well-being; A5. compare conventional and complementary methods of disease prevention and treatment.
SPECIFIC EXPECTATIONS
A1. HealthCareTerminology
By the end of this course, students will:
A1.1 demonstrate an understanding of health care terminology (e.g., manifestation, obstruction), and use it correctly in oral and written communication;
A1.2 demonstrate an understanding of terminology related to human physiology (e.g., hormone, cerebral vascular accident [stroke]), and use it cor- rectly in oral and written communication;
A1.3 demonstrate an understanding of anatomical terminology (e.g., proximal, hypochondrium), and use it correctly in oral and written communication;
A1.4 identify and use medical abbreviations cor- rectly (e.g., pt [patient], ECG [electrocardiogram]);
A1.5 name and identify the purpose of commonly used health care equipment (e.g., X-ray machine, phlebotomy equipment, refraction equipment, walker frames, autoclave);
A1.6 pronounce and spell key health care terms e
correctly (e.g., febrile = feb-ril; distal = dis-t l).
A2. Anatomy and Physiology
By the end of this course, students will:
A2.1 demonstrate an understanding of the basic structure of the human body (e.g., cells, tissues, organs, systems);
A2.2 identify the four main types of tissue (i.e., muscle tissue, nervous tissue, epithelial tissue, connective tissue) and describe their basic functions;
A2.3 demonstrate a basic understanding of the integumentary system (e.g., skin layers and their components, sensory perception);
A2.4 demonstrate a basic understanding of the musculoskeletal system (e.g., types of movement such as flexion, extension, rotation, abduction);
A2.5 demonstrate a basic understanding of the cardiovascular system (e.g., by building a model of the heart to show major anatomical features and blood flow);
A2.6 identify the major structures of the lymphat- ic system and explain how it is related to the cardiovascular and immune systems (e.g., lym- phatic vessels and lymph nodes remove bacteria to protect the body);
A2.7 demonstrate a basic understanding of the respiratory system (e.g., by building a functional respiratory model to illustrate the mechanism of breathing);
A2.8 demonstrate a basic understanding of the digestive system (e.g., by building a model to illustrate the digestive pathway);
A2.9 identify the three main areas of the neurolog- ical system (i.e., cerebrum, cerebellum, brain stem) and describe their function;
A2.10 demonstrate an understanding of visual indicators of health status that should be noted when carrying out a health assessment of an individual (e.g., skin appearance [normal, bruised, jaundiced], breathing, posture, height, weight, alertness, balance, gait, signs of malnourishment).
