Overview
In this discussion, you will compare the roles of the respiratory therapist in the home health setting in a long-term acute care setting.
What goals or therapies do they have in common and how do they differ? Given the unique nature of your PPoP, would either setting be appropriate when treating your patient?
Discuss the current developments and trends in respiratory therapy in alternative settings. How have the different settings and roles of the RT changed over the last 10 years? What impact has a global pandemic had on alternative care?
- If either setting is NOT appropriate for your patient then explain how the goals and benefits do not apply.
- Respond to a minimum of 2 of your classmates and provide an analysis of their suggestions. Be sure to include support for your analysis.
