Unit Synopsis
In this unit you will develop knowledge and skills relating to the comprehensive management of clients with acute and chronic cardiorespiratory conditions across the spectrum of health care. You will apply principles of evidence-based and client-centred approach to physiotherapy management in the context of biological, social and psychological factors. You will relate the role of the physiotherapist working in a hospital and community care facilities to that of the interprofessional team, family members and carers of clients with cardiorespiratory conditions.

Attendance Requirements
All on-campus students are expected to attend scheduled classes - in some units, these classes are identified as a mandatory (pass/fail) component and attendance is compulsory. International students, on a student visa, must maintain a full time study load and meet both attendance and academic progress requirements in each study period (satisfactory attendance for International students is defined as maintaining at least an 80% attendance record).
Recommended Student Time Commitment
Each 6-credit Undergraduate unit at CQUniversity requires an overall time commitment of an average of 12.5 hours of study per week, making a total of 150 hours for the unit.
Assessment Tasks
| Assessment Task | Weighting |
|---|---|
| 1. In-class Test(s) | 15% |
| 2. In-class Test(s) | 35% |
| 3. On-campus Activity | 0% |
| 4. Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs) | 50% |
This is a graded unit: your overall grade will be calculated from the marks or grades for each assessment task, based on the relative weightings shown in the table above. You must obtain an overall mark for the unit of at least 50%, or an overall grade of ‘pass’ in order to pass the unit. If any ‘pass/fail’ tasks are shown in the table above they must also be completed successfully (‘pass’ grade). You must also meet any minimum mark requirements specified for a particular assessment task, as detailed in the ‘assessment task’ section (note that in some instances, the minimum mark for a task may be greater than 50%).

Feedback, Recommendations and Responses
Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.
Source: Feedback from students
Students would like more time in practical sessions to practice clinical skills.
It is recommended that practical sessions be reviewed to build in more practice time of clinical skills into the weekly case studies.
Time was allocated in practical sessions for students to practice clinical skills, and students were encouraged to practice while working through case studies.
Source: Verbal feedback from students
Students would like answers to clinical reasoning and questions for cases studies to assist with revision.
It is recommended that post-clinical reasoning case answer sheets are provided for students to review.
Along with verbal discussions of clinical reasoning case studies, students were provided with some answer sheets to review.
Source: SUTE and verbal feedback from students
Students requested practice test questions for Mid and End-Term tests to assist in preparing for assessments.
It is recommended that practice test questions be developed and made available to students.
In Progress
Source: Verbal feedback from students
Students felt that the number of clinical reasoning case studies was too high in some practical sessions.
It is recommended that the volume of clinical reasoning case studies be reviewed to allow for more time in class to talk through the cases and practice clinical skills.
In Progress
On successful completion of this unit, you will be able to:
- Discuss the pathological processes, the symptomatology, clinical course, medical and pharmacological management and prognosis in clients with cardiorespiratory conditions
- Develop, implement and evaluate evidence-based assessment and treatment for clients with cardiorespiratory conditions, through acute to chronic conditions
- Explain how biological, social, and psychological factors inform a physiotherapy intervention plan for clients with cardiorespiratory conditions
- Relate the role of physiotherapy to the management of cardiorespiratory conditions and pathologies using both an interprofessional and client-centred approach
- Demonstrate acceptable professional and ethical behaviours consistent with a physiotherapy practitioner.
The Learning Outcomes and Assessment tasks have been mapped against and aligned with the Physiotherapy Practice Thresholds in Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand.
