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. | <tr> | ||

===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> | |||
<ol style="max-width:67em !important;"> | |||
<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 off-campus of non-invasive procedures, such as blood pressure measurement.</li> | |||
<li>Real medication is not to be used as a consumable supply.</li> | |||
</ol> | |||
===Definitions=== | |||
<ol style="max-width:67em !important;"> | |||
<li>Consumable supplies are disposable, one-use devices, such as syringes, needles, glucose test strips, nasogastric tubes and urinary catheters.</li> | |||
<li>Equipment is a durable, non-disposable device such as injection pad, blood glucose meter, sphygmomanometer, intravenous infusion pump, scale and feeding pump.</li> | |||
<li>Invasive procedures/skills are such things as subcutaneous or intramuscular injections, intravenous needle insertions, nasogastric tube insertions, urinary catheter insertions.</li> | |||
<li>Non-invasive procedures are such things as blood pressure measurement and assessment of lung sounds, bowel sounds, neurological status, eyes and ears.</li> | |||
