Cardiopulmonary Conditions Instructions

 

(Must be included in paper and discussed in presentation)

 

1. What population is this condition typically found in?

 

2. How does the condition typically occur? What is the etiology?

 

3. What anatomical structures are involved?

 

4. What medical interventions are required?

 

5. What precautions or contraindications must the Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) be aware of during the patient’s medical treatment and/or during recovery?

 

6. What is the typical time frame for patient full recovery OR how long following medical intervention until the patient is considered able to return to full functional abilities (or return to the prior level of function (PLOF)).

 

7. What types of PT interventions are typically used to treat the condition during the:

 

1. acute phase

 

1. functional phase

 

8. Are there any recommended interventions that do not fall under the PTA’s scope of work?

 

9. Create an example daily treatment plan for the patient 3 weeks following injury/medical intervention based on information found during your research.

Research Article Critique Grading Rubric A research article critique is not merely a review or summary of a study but rather a careful, critical appraisal of the strengths and limitations of research report. A written critique should serve as a guide to researchers and practitioners while they appraise the evidence to improve nursing practice. The ideal critique should suggest possibilities for improving the design of replication efforts and should thus help to advance a particular area of knowledge. The critique should also help those who are practicing nursing decide if or how the findings from the study can best be incorporated into their practice, if at all.
