Cardiorespiratory Physiotherapy CXA738
Introduction
This unit builds upon the foundational knowledge and skills introduced in the previous units to examine cardiorespiratory physiotherapy. It, therefore, retains the focus on applying the biopsychosocial model of practice, person centred practice, evidence-based practice, reflective practice, critical thinking and interprofessional collaboration. Students are required to synthesise new knowledge and skills related to responding to clients with clinical cardiorespiratory conditions and integrate them in the application of the clinical reasoning cycle and physiotherapy clinical decision-making model, culturally safe practice for diverse populations, determining the quality of information sources and professional interaction and communication.
