| Brief description of the Unit |
This unit outlines the knowledge and skills to appropriately manage cardiopulmonary and metabolic conditions, and associated chronic diseases. Students will be required to demonstrate appropriate clinical management and exercise protocols that apply to specific cardiopulmonary and metabolic conditions, and associated chronic diseases, and prepare evidence-based exercise programs based on the outcomes of assessment and testing. |

| Placement Component: | |
| Supplementary Assessment:Yes |
| Where supplementary assessment is available a student must have failed overall in the Unit but gained a final mark of 45 per cent or above, has completed all major assessment tasks (including all sub-components where a task has multiple parts) as specified in the Unit Description and is not eligible for any other form of supplementary assessment |

|
| Learning Outcomes: |
| Knowledge: |
| K1. | Recognise and critically examine the aetiology, pathophysiology, complications and risk factors for a variety of cardiopulmonary and metabolic conditions, and associated chronic diseases. |
|
| K2. | Illustrate the indications, actions, interactions and administration of commonly prescribed medications for cardiopulmonary and metabolic conditions, and associated chronic diseases. |
|
| K3. | Examine and reflect on a range of appropriate assessment tools, clinical management techniques and exercise protocols for a variety of cardiopulmonary and metabolic conditions, and associated chronic diseases. |
|
| Skills: |
| S1. | Demonstrate assessment skills, testing procedures and appropriate exercise prescription for clients with cardiopulmonary and metabolic conditions, and associated chronic diseases. |
|
| S2. | Demonstrate how to recognise common signs and symptoms of cardiopulmonary, metabolic and associated conditions and appropriately adapt exercise interventions. |
|
| Application of knowledge and skills: |
| A1. | Apply clinical judgement to select appropriate testing procedures for a client with a cardiopulmonary condition, metabolic condition, and/or associated chronic disease. |
|
| A2. | Critically interpret test results to plan, design and deliver an exercise program to assist in the overall management and recovery from cardiopulmonary and metabolic conditions, and associated chronic diseases. |
|

| Graduate Attributes: |
| Federation University recognises that students require key transferable employability skills to prepare them for their future workplace and society. FEDTASKS (Transferable Attributes Skills and Knowledge) provide a targeted focus on five key transferable Attributes, Skills, and Knowledge that are be embedded within curriculum, developed gradually towards successful measures and interlinked with cross-discipline and Co-operative Learning opportunities. One or more FEDTASK, transferable Attributes, Skills or Knowledge must be evident in the specified learning outcomes and assessment for each FedUni Unit, and all must be directly assessed in each Course.
