Patient Management and Nursing

Catalog description

Presentation of species-specific behaviors and natural responses to fear, illness, injury, pain, and the displacement from a secure routine is expected from animals presented for professional veterinary care. Course emphasis is on acquiring and practicing observation, husbandry, and management skills to restrain patients safely and humanely during medical examinations and clinical procedures. All procedures in this course will be pre-evaluated and ordered by Colorado licensed veterinarians in response to clinical perception of medical need.
