Unit description
Focuses on the consolidation of foundational knowledge of the chronic conditions and related co-morbidities associated with the respiratory/pulmonary and kidney diseases and cancer. Students construct a comprehensive, evidence-based understanding of the application of clinical exercise physiology for the provision of effective exercise interventions in multidisciplinary settings.
Unit content
-
Pathological and pathophysiological bases of:
- Respiratory/pulmonary conditions
- Cancer and co-morbidities
- Kidney diseases and co-morbidities
- Working in a multidisciplinary team
- Ongoing support for maintenance of exercise
- Clinical reasoning in client care
Learning outcomes
Unit Learning Outcomes express learning achievement in terms of what a student should know, understand and be able to do on completion of a unit. These outcomes are aligned with the graduate attributes. The unit learning outcomes and graduate attributes are also the basis of evaluating prior learning.
| On completion of this unit, students should be able to: | |
|---|---|
| 1 | synthesise knowledge of chronic conditions and co-morbidities associated with respiratory/pulmonary and kidney diseases and cancer |
| 2 | evaluate evidence based practice for the provision of exercise intervention for chronic conditions |
| 3 | explain the provision of safe and effective exercise interventions for clients with chronic conditions within a multidisciplinary practice |
| 4 | apply knowledge of chronic conditions and co-morbidities to the provision of effective exercise intervention |
| 5 | apply clinical reasoning to the provision of effective exercise interventions for clients with chronic conditions and related co-morbidities |
On completion of this unit, students should be able to:
- synthesise knowledge of chronic conditions and co-morbidities associated with respiratory/pulmonary and kidney diseases and cancer
