===Introduction:===
===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>
