Proposed Revisions
The Year Working Committee, in collaboration with the Year State Technical Committee, recommends the revisions to standards stated in the attached Year Probe Report .
The IFCC Executive Board feels strongly that requisite knowledge of, and the ability to use, proper medical terminology is critical to the success of practical nursing students and recommends that AHS 109 Medical Terminology be included in the practical nursing curriculum.
The State Technical Committee for Practical Nursing has recommended changes in certain competencies in NSG 212 Pediatric Nursing and NPT 212 Pediatric Nursing Practicum to more appropriately reflect current classifications and terminology and to add certain competencies to reflect a more comprehensive approach to pediatric nursing. The IFCC Executive Board also recommends these changes.
Recommended Action – DTAE Staff:
Recommend proposed revisions
Recommended Action – Joint VPIS/Presidents Ad Hoc Standards Committee:
Recommend proposed revisions, except recommend correcting the prerequisite for SCT-100 to “provisional admission” in accordance with the state course standard.

Quality Improvement Initiative
The program standards and guides materials, which form the basis for instruction in Georgia’s technical colleges, are developed to support industry driven needs. Faculty and local program advisory committees review programs to ensure the latest technology and employment needs are addressed for the program.
Through the Instructional Faculty Consortium Committee (IFCC) process, programs are reviewed and, if needed, recommendations are made to update competencies found in the program. Given the accelerating changes in technology and the workplace, a major systematic updating of all standardized programs in the technical colleges, with business and industry involvements, is needed.
A joint IFCC Executive Board and State Technical Committee (STC) meeting was held in Year to examine the Year diplomas and degree. A working committee composed of instructors and state technical committee members met in Year to discuss and respond to recommendations made by the IFCC Executive Board and STC members.
Currently, the Probe process is being initiated for program revisions recommended by the Working Committee. The following sections are included in this Probe document:
a listing of the IFCC Executive Board a listing of the State Technical Committee members a list of the Working Committee members and recommendations made by the IFCC Executive Board and STC
The recommended changes/revisions made in this document apply to the Year, diploma program. The deleted items are reflected with a strikethrough while new material is bold Italic. Course number and course title changes are recommended to more accurately describe the course level and content of the affected courses and enhance transferability.
The appropriate sections from the program standards are included, showing recommended revisions, and a revised curriculum sequence illustrates the impact of revisions on scheduling.

State Technical Committee/Working CommitteeDiscussion and RecommendationsCurrent and Proposed Changes for
Year, Diploma
AHS 101 Anatomy and Physiology“More time devoted to Medical Terminology…perhaps a specific course devoted to this.” (Recommendation #1) Response - AHS 109 – The IFCC has recommended that a Medical Terminology course (AHS 109) be added to curriculum.
“Recommend strong information on structure and function of each organ plus a system focus on pathophysiology. Lab would be beneficial in learning process- help in critical thinking requires a good foundation in A&P.” (Recommendation #2)Response – AHS 101 – Anatomy and Physiology is a 5 credit hour, 50 clock hour course. The course covers all organ systems including the structure and function of each organ. Pathophysiology is covered in Medical Surgical Nursing, NSG 112 and 113. The limited time frame for the course does not allow for a lab. A lab is not recommended at this time since it would require the formation of a separate course and would increase the credit hours for the program.
AHS 102 Drug Calculation and Administration“More information on proper administration of drugs…, Critical Thinking, the importance of checking lab work or vital signs prior to administration of some medications.” (Recommendation # 3)Response – Will be added to Program Guide.
“More Pharmacology and Drug Calculations Instruction and administration of drugs.” (Recommendation #4)Response – Will be added to Program Guide.
AHS 103 Nutrition and Diet Therapy“Incorporate lab studies that correlate with inadequate nutrition.” (Recommendation # 5)Response – Will be added to Program Guide.
“Include common food/drug interactions.” (Recommendation #6)Response – Will be added to Program Guide.
“Incorporate information on common nutrient supplements specific to disease processes.” (Recommendation # 7)Response – Will be added to Program Guide.
AHS 104 Introduction to Healthcare[Should include] “communications skills: skills necessary to communicate with people who are not at their best.” (Recommendation # 8)Response – Communication skills are covered specifically in NSG 110 – Nursing Fundamentals and in NSG 113 – Medical-Surgical Nursing II.

[Should include] “Aseptic Technique” (Recommendation # 9)Response – Aseptic Technique is covered in AHS 104 – Introduction to Healthcare and again in NSG 110 – Nursing Fundamentals.
Should include measuring “Intake and Output (I&O)” (Recommendation # 10)Response – Intake and Output is covered in NSG 110 – Nursing Fundamentals.
“Choosing appropriate blood pressure cuff-proper procedure for orthostatic blood pressure.” (Recommendation # 11)Response – Covered in AHS 104- Introduction to Healthcare

“MSDS-Material Safety Data Sheets and HazMat Communications [should be covered].” (Recommendation # 13)Response – Will be added to Program Guide.
NSG 110 Nursing Fundamentals“Recommend adding mental health content.” (Recommendation # 14)Response – Mental Health is covered in NSG 113 – Medical-Surgical Nursing II. Therapeutic communication is covered in this course.
“Seems like a lot of content for one course (Physical Assessment should be an entire course).” (Recommendation # 15)Response – Physical Assessment is reviewed with each system in Medical-Surgical Nursing, Obstetrical Nursing, and Pediatrics. A separate course is not recommended at this time since it would increase the credit hours for the program.
“More information on ‘Professionalism’-Work Ethics (being on time, avoiding call-ins) (Recommendation # 16Response – Work Ethics is covered in each course in the curriculum. One work ethics characteristic is reviewed each week throughout the program. Professionalism is covered in this course.
