HOYA 1 Sept/Oct Article
The students are settling in nicely. Over the past few weeks, we have learned about the legal aspects of healthcare, how to identify the signs and symptoms for potential abuse, when to report, barriers to communication, and how to overcome them. Skills we have acquired this far include, how to properly wash our hands, oral care, and nail care. The students had a lot of fun brushing each other's teeth! Over the next few weeks we will identify proper infection control procedures in order to keep our patients and ourselves safe while caring for others. Skills we will learn next include how to measure and document height and weight, and how to properly put on and take off personal protective equipment.
