=== | ===Purpose=== | ||
<p style="max-width:70em !important;">Establishes the criteria for the use of clinically related lab supplies and equipment. Provides definitions of consumable supplies and equipment.</p> | |||
===Scope=== | |||
<p style="max-width:70em !important;">This policy applies to all faculty, staff and students involved in skills labs and simulation.</p> | |||
===Policy=== | |||
<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> | <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.
