FORK1100 Preparatory course in Mathematics Course description

All clinical training have different mandatory activities and tasks in the implementation.

The assessment is based on the learning outcomes for the course, the student's specification of the learning outcomes and the formative assessment made of the student during the clinical training period.

Students' clinical training can only be assessed if their attendance is sufficiently high.

• Less than 10% absence: The student can complete the clinical training course as normal.
• 10-20% absence: If possible, the student can make up for the clinical training missed. This must be agreed with the clinical training supervisor and the supervisor at the university.
• More than 20% absence: The student must retake the whole clinical training course.

Students are responsible for obtaining a copy of their assessment form from the supervisor. The form must be presented to the new supervisor in the next clinical training period.

Pass-fail.

After completing the course, the student should have the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence:

Knowledge

The student can

• explain different forms of medication, routes of administration, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics
• refer to relevant legislation and regulations for medication management, including guidelines for documentation, handling of non-conformities and disposal
• describe important drugs in relation to pain, anxiety, emergencies, infections, cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, and special drugs used for diagnostic imaging and treatment
• describe the key concepts in drug calculations

Skills

The student can

• explain and perform procedures for administration of medication
• carry out independent and faultless calculations of drug dosages, quantities and strengths for different routes of administration
• use international standards and systems of units in drug calculations
• calculate injection and infusion rates (drops/min and ml/hr)
• assess and check both their own and other people's calculations

General competence

The student can

• communicate correct information about the use and side effects of medication to other health care professionals and next of kin, and identify risk factors in connection with the use of contrast agents and other relevant drugs

SYBAPRA2 and SYBASPRA2 overlap 100%.

The following must have been approved in order for the student to take the exam:

• a minimum attendance of 80% at scheduled seminars and skills training sessions
• an individual written drug calculation test in accordance with set criteria

Combined assessment:

Part 1: Drug calculation: Supervised individual written exam, 3 hours. To pass the exam, the student must submit a faultless exam paper.

Part 2: Pharmacology: Supervised individual written exam, 2 hours.

Students must pass both parts of the exam in order to pass the course.

Resits/rescheduled exam: If a student fails one part of the exam, he/she must retake the part in question.

Part 1) Calculator provided by the universit.

Part 2) No aids permitted.
