Getting Ready for Cervical Assessment Skills Day
To help you in building that muscle memory and proprioception, we invite you to gather a few items to practice with during class. The fruit on this list offers something no plastic model can – soft, yielding, biological texture that gives your hands a first conversation with what they are learning to read. You do not need all of it, or even any of it, but if you can bring some, we will prepare it together on screen at the start of our session.
Please bring:
-
Baby doll with a hard molded head, close to life size (an anatomical teaching doll is ideal, but any child’s doll with a molded plastic head will do)
-
One stretchy adult-size sock you don’t mind cutting up (wool or hand-knitted work too)
-
Non-sterile gloves
-
1 pack Sterile gloves
-
Tube Water-based lubricant or several packs
If you have them, bring those too:
-
Any cervical assessment tools / models you already own
-
Any drawings, illustrations, or teaching graphics of cervical assessment
-
A model pelvis if you have
-
1 or more fresh pack Mushrooms (cap variety, not oyster mushrooms)
-
1 or more Banana
-
1 or more ripe or semi-ripe Avocado
-
1 or more Papaya
-
1 or more Honeydew or cantaloupe
-
Spoon, knife, and cutting board or chux pad
