4.00 Credits
This course introduces students to computer techniques needed for survival in college courses. In addition, students will attend a scheduled lab hour each week. Individual tutoring is part of the course. Students meet with a professional tutor for a scheduled hour each week; here, strategies taught in class are applied to other college courses. Developmental courses will not be counted to meet degree requirements. (Prerequisite: READ 084)
-
4.00 Credits
This initial basic skills reading course introduces students to college reading comprehension and vocabulary enhancement skills. The application of skills is required each week in a scheduled Reading Lab. Upon completing READ 091, students are required to register for READ 092 to complete their basic skills college reading requirement. Developmental courses will not be counted to meet degree requirements.
-
4.00 Credits
This second half of a two semester sequence made up of READ 091 and READ 092 focuses on expanding comprehension and vocabulary skills developed in READ 091, and on developing flexibility of reading rate and critical reading strategies. Students will also develop textbook read/study strategies designed to help them become more effective college level readers. The application of skills is required each week in a scheduled reading lab. Upon successfully completing the READ 091/092 sequence, students will satisfy their basic skills requirement in reading. Developmental courses will not be counted to meet degree requirements. (Prerequisite: READ 091)
-
4.00 Credits
This course is designed to help students improve their reading skills and study strategies to effectively handle the demands of college courses. The students will learn to analyze text and apply appropriate study/learning strategies. By successfully completing READ 095, students will satisfy their basic sills requirement for reading. This developmental course will not be counted toward degree requirements.
-
2.00 Credits
This pre-health course introduces the student to topics important to Associate Degree graduates of the health care professions. Emphasis will be placed on problem solving, critical thinking and application of concepts essential to the role of the health care professional. Communication skills and basic physical assessment techniques will be discussed. Health, professional and wellness topics will be integrated throughout the course, as well as medical terminology.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is designed for students who have gained admission in the Respiratory Therapy Program. It is one of two respiratory courses offered in the first semester. The student will utilize the principles and methods of scientific inquiry in exploring the structure and function of the respiratory system. The theory and application of sciences basic to respiratory therapy, as well as major concepts and mechanisms associated with respiratory physiology, will be mastered. Students will use critical thinking and problemsolving skills in analyzing anatomic and physiologic principles applied to common clinical situations. Students will use appropriate mathematical concepts and operations to interpret data applied to static and dynamic characteristics of the lungs and vascular systems, oxygen and carbon dioxide transport, acid-base balance, ventilation-perfusion relationships, as well as regulation and control of respiration. (Prerequisite: Admission to the program; Corequisites: RESP 162, BIOL 111 and COMP 129)
-
6.00 Credits
This course is designed for students who have gained admission into the Respiratory Therapy Program. It is the first course to include a college and clinical laboratory experience. It is designed to provide the student with the following competencies: critical thinking and problem-solving, communication, scientific perspective, and information and technology literacy through discussion and application of basic respiratory case modalities. Specifically, the student will master the theory and clinical application of patient assessment, humidity and aerosol therapy, pharmacology, oxygen therapy, intermittent positive pressure and techniques of bronchial clearance. The student will also comprehend the principles of infection control through cleaning, disinfection and sterilization procedures and demonstrate techniques of transmission prevention. College laboratory will provide training and practice of competency skills to be further mastered in the clinical laboratory. Students will practice in the clinical laboratory under supervision. Students should be aware that practice in the college and clinical laboratory may expose them to certain hazardous or infectious agents. A complete orientation including in-service with required manual will be provided to ensure student safety. (Prerequisite: Admission to the program; Corequisites: RESP 161, BIOL 111 and COMP 129)
-
4.00 Credits
This course provides the basis for therapeutic management by introducing the Respiratory Therapy student to the structural and functional abnormalities leading to dysfunction of the cardiopulmonary system. Using the problem solving approach, the student will apply learned knowledge of cardiopulmonary disease and diagnostics to clinical case scenarios. In addition, extra-pulmonary conditions that can result in respiratory impairment will be discussed. (Prerequisites: RESP 161 and RESP 162; Corequisites: RESP 164, Communications course and BIOL 112)
-
5.00 Credits
This course provides the Respiratory Therapy student with supervised clinical application of principles and techniques of cardiopulmonary assessment and diagnostic procedures learned in the classroom and college laboratory. Topics include laboratory studies, electrocardiographs, pulmonary function studies, invasive and non-invasive blood gas monitoring, sleep studies and radiographic interpretation. Invasive and non-invasive techniques of airway clearance and sampling will provide a basis for airway management introduced in the second year. Students should be aware that practice in the college laboratory may expose them to certain hazardous or infectious agents. Laboratory orientation is provided to ensure student safety. (Prerequisites: RESP 161 and RESP 162; Corequisites: RESP 163 and BIOL 112)
