===Introduction:===

<p style="max-width:70em !important;">The UNMC College of Nursing (CON) purchases consumable supplies for use by students in the learning environment, both in skills labs and simulation, under close supervision of faculty and/or teaching assistants.  Task trainers (e.g. pelvis models for urinary catheterization) and equipment such as injection pads and simulation manikins provide a safe mechanism for practicing invasive skills.  Safe performance of invasive skills, when completed following established guidelines, can be attained in this environment without risk of harm to patients. </p>

 

<li>Consumable supplies and equipment available in the CON for student practice and demonstration of invasive clinical skills are to be used in designated area(s) on each campus.</li>

<li>CON provided consumable supplies and equipment available to students are not to be used for practice of invasive procedures on students, faculty or other individuals.</li>

<li>CON provided consumable supplies are to be disposed of properly in designated locations on each campus.</li>

<li>Consumable supplies and equipment are not to be removed from designated areas without permission from staff and/or faculty.</li>

<li>CON provided consumable supplies and equipment may be checked out on each campus following appropriate procedures for a planned patient encounter, such as blood glucose determination and/or blood pressure measurement, related to a nursing course under the supervision of faculty and/or teaching assistants.</li>

<li>Equipment may also be checked out on each campus following appropriate procedures for practice of non-invasive procedures, such as blood pressure measurement.</li>

</ol>
