Invasive Procedure

An invasive procedure is defined as anything that invades the integrity of the skin or body part. All students must be knowledgeable and deemed competent in performing an invasive procedure. Clinical faculty, and or the agency preceptor, determine whether a student may or may not complete an invasive procedure. Students performing invasive procedures must be supervised by the clinical faculty or a designated preceptor. Students must have access to the agency’s emergency policies and equipment. All untoward effects or related incidence must be reported to the faculty as soon as possible and an agency and College incident report completed.
