The following summary checklist could be used as an organizational tool to identify learning needs and record the practice of HCA skills in the lab and clinical settings. It is not intended to replace scenario-based lab skills testing or assessment of meeting program learning outcomes for practice education placements.
This is a summary list only. Additional procedure criteria for each care activity will be provided by the program in a lab manual. The program may wish to indicate care activities with additional safety-related considerations (e.g., instructor is present for the first-time demonstration of the care activity in the clinical setting, two-person mechanical lift policy, etc.).
