UTVB3140 Midtøsten: Historie, samfunn og islam Emneplan

Emnet omhandler kunnskap og ferdigheter som studenten trenger for å utøve forsvarlig operasjonssykepleie til akutt og/eller kritisk syke operasjonspasienter. Operasjonspasienter er ofte i en sårbar og noen ganger i en livstruende fase. Operasjonssykepleiere må identifisere og forstå pasientenes reaksjoner og behov, og vurdere relevante forebyggende, lindrende, behandlende og rehabiliterende tiltak i elektive og akutte situasjoner. Dette krever avansert kunnskap innen infeksjonsforebygging, leiring og medisinsk utstyr. Studenten skal sikre profesjonsutøvelsen i den sterilt utøvende og den koordinerende funksjon, herunder yte personsentrert operasjonssykepleie. Emnet skal gi studentene forståelse for hvordan organisatoriske, økonomiske, etiske og juridiske rammer påvirker operasjonsavdelingen og arbeidsmiljøet, og se dette i sammenheng med ansvaret for å utøve operasjonssykepleie, faglig ledelse og organisering av det tverrprofesjonelle teamet. Operasjonssykepleiere skal anvende kunnskapsbasert tilnærming i direkte pasientkontakt, undervisning og kvalitetsforbedringsarbeid.
