Overview
In this unit, which continues from General Paramedicine A, you will consolidate and apply your comprehensive patient assessments incorporating culturally appropriate practices. During residential school you will continue your integration of assessment findings with knowledge of pathophysiology for a range of patient presentations to arrive at a provisional diagnosis. You will integrate and document patient management skills and interventions, including the safe use of medicines, and following legislation, registration standards, codes and guidelines. In addition, you will be able to practically identify and respond to a patient's deteriorating condition or inability to undergo a procedure or treatment, consistent with a paramedic's duty of care and statutory requirements.
