- show others how to carry out bladder scans,
- teach others how to use patient warmer systems (e.g. Bair Hugger®),
- show others how to operate oxygen devices (e.g. portable) and provide oxygen to the patient/client.
| The professional caregiver is able to: - discuss ethical principles of the commitment of medical devices and procedures (see also CA.B.1),
- describe methods for transferring knowledge and experience,
- explain different training techniques,
- explain techniques for increasing motivation,
