New description:
Emphasizes the considerations of nurse anesthesia practice, principles, and techniques for the obstetrical, pediatric and geriatric patient.
New Objectives:
During this course the student will have the opportunity to:
Evaluate the obstetrical patient for anesthesia to include pre-operative assessment considering normal obstetrical physiology and the more common pathophysiologies, pain management, cesarean section care, proper positioning, and epidural anesthesia.
Examine the principles of neonatal and pediatric anesthesia during pre-operative assessment, operating room and equipment set-up, appraisal of normal physiology and pathophysiology, and post anesthesia pain management.
Organize the care of geriatric surgical patients for anesthesia to include: physical assessment, selection and administration of the anesthesia techniques, management of the anesthetic and post-operative care.
Demonstrate the integration of biopsychosocial, genetic, cultural, economic, environmental, and political elements into anesthesia assessment, health maintenance, health promotion and illness prevention strategies of the advanced practice nurse.
Prioritize needs and resources for individuals, families, and vulnerable population groups related to health promotion, and preservation throughout the lifespan and anesthesia related issues.
Identify areas of cultural competence employed in current nurse anesthesia practice and resources for further development of skills to practice in diverse population settings.
Understand the periodic health examination and its components across the life span to include physical, mental, developmental and social health related to interactions with patients and families in need of anesthesia services or consultation.
Discuss the knowledge derived from theories and models that develop counseling strategies for patients related to health promotion in the pre operative clinic visit.

- Attendance Policy: Course Attendance at First Class Meeting – Policy for Graduate Students: For structured courses, 6000 and above, the College/Campus Dean will set the first-day class attendance requirement. Check with the College for specific information. This policy is not applicable to courses in the following categories: Educational Outreach, Open University (TV), FEEDS Program, Community Experiential Learning (CEL), Cooperative Education Training, and courses that do not have regularly scheduled meeting days/times (such as, directed reading/research or study, individual research, thesis, dissertation, internship, practica, etc.). Students are responsible for dropping undesired courses in these categories by the 5th day of classes to avoid fee liability and academic penalty. (See USF Regulation – Registration - 4.0101,
http://usfweb2.usf.edu/usfgc/ogc%20web/currentreg.htm)
Attendance Policy for the Observance of Religious Days by Students: In accordance with Sections 1006.53 and 1001.74(10)(g) Florida Statutes and Board of Governors Regulation 6C-6.0115, the University of South Florida (University/USF) has established the following policy regarding religious observances: (http://usfweb2.usf.edu/usfgc/gc_pp/acadaf/gc10-045.htm)
In the event of an emergency, it may be necessary for USF to suspend normal operations. During this time, USF may opt to continue delivery of instruction through methods that include but are not limited to: Blackboard, Elluminate, Skype, and email messaging and/or an alternate schedule. It’s the responsibility of the student to monitor Blackboard site for each class for course specific communication, and the main USF, College, and department websites, emails, and MoBull messages for important general information.
- Policy on Make-up Work: Attendance Policy/Late Submissions:
Students are expected to attend class at scheduled times. Please contact the lead faculty by e-mail if an absence is necessary. Work deadlines will not be extended unless arrangements are made with the lead faculty prior to/or immediately after a class.
The American Nurses Association Code of Ethics (2001) demands that nurses maintain moral worth and dignity through personal integrity and preservation of wholeness of character. This behavior is to be demonstrated in all aspects of a student’s professional activities, including the academic setting.
Students attending the University of South Florida are awarded degrees in recognition of successful completion of coursework in their chosen fields of study. Each individual is expected to earn his/her degree on the basis of personal effort. Consequently, any form of cheating on examinations or plagiarism on assigned papers constitutes unacceptable deceit and dishonesty. Disruption of the classroom or teaching environment is also unacceptable. This cannot be tolerated in the University community and will be punishable, according to the seriousness of the offense, in conformity with this rule. http://www/ugs/usf/edu/catalogs/0304/adadap.htm
