RBSE SS Voc Health Care · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 7 hours per week

Week 1

Health Care Fundamentals and Anatomy/Physiology Basics & Infection Control, Hygiene and Safety

  • Label on a blank diagram the major body systems (skeletal, muscular, cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, nervous, urinary, endocrine) and name at least three organs of each from memory

  • Define homeostasis and describe two feedback loops that maintain it, using correct terminology

  • Sequence the chain of infection and match two concrete breaking points to each link

  • Explain the difference between medical asepsis and surgical asepsis and list when each applies

  • Build a 40-term anatomy and infection-control glossary with definitions written in your own words

Your checkpoint

A hand-drawn or digital body-systems map plus a 40-term glossary, self-quizzed to 80% accuracy

Week 2

Health Care Fundamentals and Anatomy/Physiology Basics & Patient Care and Basic Nursing Skills

  • Describe the structure and function of skin, and relate pressure-injury risk to anatomy

  • Trace blood flow through the heart chambers and valves in correct order without notes

  • Perform and document a set of vital signs (temperature, pulse, respiration, blood pressure, oxygen saturation) on a volunteer under supervision or on a training manikin

  • Convert between common measurement units used in patient care and state normal adult ranges for each vital sign

  • Explain the purpose and correct technique for at least four basic nursing procedures such as bed bathing, mouth care, positioning, and bed making

Your checkpoint

A completed vital-signs practice log with 10 recorded sets, normal-range comparison, and a short reflection on technique errors

Week 3

Patient Care and Basic Nursing Skills & Medical Terminology, Documentation and Communication

  • Demonstrate safe patient positioning and transfer techniques, naming the muscles and joints at risk for the patient and the caregiver

  • Write a mock patient-care note using the SOAP structure with objective and subjective data clearly separated

  • Decode 60 common medical abbreviations, prefixes, suffixes, and root words and use them in sentences

  • Practise active listening and teach-back with a partner, then rate your own communication on a five-point checklist

  • Explain the principles of accurate, timely, and confidential documentation, including late entries and corrections

Your checkpoint

Three SOAP-format care notes based on simulated scenarios, each with correct terminology and no confidentiality breaches

Week 4

First Aid and Emergency Response & Infection Control, Hygiene and Safety

  • Assess a simulated emergency scene using the primary survey sequence and state the actions for each step

  • Demonstrate adult CPR compression technique and recovery position on a manikin, or describe the current recommended rate, depth, and ratio with a step-by-step written protocol if no manikin is available

  • Manage simulated choking, bleeding, burns, and fracture scenarios in the correct order of priority

  • Apply standard precautions and correct hand-hygiene technique, and describe correct use and removal of personal protective equipment

  • Identify workplace hazards and describe safe body mechanics for lifting and moving patients

Your checkpoint

A written emergency-response protocol for five scenarios plus a hand-hygiene and PPE checklist scored against a self-assessment rubric

Week 5

Community Health, Public Health and Epidemiology & Nutrition, Dietetics and Lifestyle Health

  • Define incidence, prevalence, morbidity, mortality, and attack rate, and calculate each from a small sample dataset

  • Explain the modes of transmission and prevention strategies for at least four common communicable diseases in the local context

  • Describe the levels of prevention (primary, secondary, tertiary) and classify six real public-health activities

  • Evaluate a balanced diet using macro- and micronutrient categories, and identify two diet modifications for common conditions such as diabetes and hypertension

  • Plan a one-day therapeutic diet menu that meets stated energy and nutrient targets

Your checkpoint

A short community health profile (500-700 words) covering one local health problem with epidemiological terms, prevention levels, and a dietary recommendation

Week 6

Maternal and Child Health & Health Care Ethics, Legal Aspects and Professional Behaviour

  • Outline the stages of pregnancy, labour, and the postpartum period and list two danger signs for each stage

  • Describe essential newborn and child health practices including breastfeeding, immunisation schedules, and growth monitoring

  • Explain informed consent, confidentiality, and duty of care using two worked scenarios

  • Apply a simple ethical decision-making framework to a maternal-care dilemma and justify your chosen action

  • Identify unprofessional or unsafe behaviour in three case vignettes and state the correct response

Your checkpoint

A maternal and child health teaching sheet for a community audience plus two written ethics case analyses

Week 7

Pharmacology Basics and Medication Safety & Medical Terminology, Documentation and Communication & Practical/Clinical Skills and Vocational Project Work

  • Classify common drug groups by action and state two key safety checks for each

  • Explain the rights of medication administration and apply them to three error scenarios

  • Calculate drug doses from given strengths and volumes, showing working for at least ten problems

  • Design and describe a small vocational project related to health care, including aim, method, safety considerations, and expected outcome

  • Present your project plan verbally in five minutes using clear structure and correct terminology

Your checkpoint

A ten-item dose-calculation worksheet with workings and a one-page vocational project proposal

Week 8

Health Care Fundamentals and Anatomy/Physiology Basics & Patient Care and Basic Nursing Skills & First Aid and Emergency Response & Infection Control, Hygiene and Safety & Nutrition, Dietetics and Lifestyle Health & Community Health, Public Health and Epidemiology & Maternal and Child Health & Pharmacology Basics and Medication Safety & Medical Terminology, Documentation and Communication & Health Care Ethics, Legal Aspects and Professional Behaviour & Practical/Clinical Skills and Vocational Project Work
