This document provides guidance for conducting an Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) in nursing. It outlines the objectives, definition, purposes, and arrangement of stations for an OSCE. It describes the different types of stations including cognitive, procedural, interpretive, communication, and viva stations. Examples are provided for each station type along with instructions, scenarios, questions, scoring, and timing. The conclusion emphasizes the need for preparation of materials, separate spaces for examiners, and checklists to effectively conduct the OSCE and assess nursing students' clinical skills and competencies.
This document discusses evidence-based medicine (EBM) and its key steps. EBM involves integrating the best available research evidence with clinical expertise and patient values. The rise of EBM was driven by various factors. The five steps of EBM are: 1) formulating a question, 2) finding evidence, 3) critically appraising the evidence, 4) applying findings to practice, and 5) evaluating performance. A case study example of a patient with acute pulmonary edema is provided to demonstrate applying EBM in practice.
The document describes how to plan and implement an objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) for assessing pediatric nursing students. It discusses:
- The OSCE model based on Miller's hierarchy of clinical competence using simulated practice.
- Skills that can be assessed including clinical skills, decision making, communication, and time management.
- Locations for the OSCE including clinical areas with real patients or simulated labs.
- Steps for planning including time allotted, staffing needs, station types and content, and evaluation criteria.
- Types of stations such as manned stations where students perform skills and unmanned stations involving cases, images, and written responses.
- Examples of station content covering various pediatric topics, skills
Newer Methods of Assessment in Medical EducationSwati Deshpande

The document discusses various methods for assessing clinical skills in medical education, including mini-clinical evaluation exercises (MiniCEX), direct observation of procedural skills (DOPS), multi-source feedback (MSF), logbooks, portfolios, simulations, record reviews, and patient surveys. It emphasizes that the assessment method should be tailored based on the domain and level being tested, available resources, and whether the goal is formative or summative. Objective methods are preferred over traditional methods to reduce bias. A variety of approaches can provide insights into different aspects of clinical competency.
The document discusses proper procedures for sample collection, handling, and transportation for effective microbial testing. It emphasizes that the pre-analytical stage, which involves collection and handling, is critical. Key points include using appropriate containers and transport media to preserve samples, maintaining sterile technique, proper labeling, and timely transportation while refrigerated. Following standard operating procedures at each stage helps ensure accurate diagnosis.
Objective Structured Practical/Clinical ExaminationAmit Newton

The document discusses Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) and Objective Structured Practical Examination (OSPE) which are assessment tools used to evaluate clinical and practical skills. OSCE/OSPE involve assessing students through multiple stations that simulate real-life scenarios using standardized patients and checklists. They provide a more objective way to evaluate students' skills compared to traditional exams. The document outlines the development, components, organization, and importance of OSCE/OSPE in assessing various clinical and practical skills in health professional education.
This document provides an overview of evidence-based medicine resources for pediatrics. It defines evidence-based medicine and discusses the importance of both clinical expertise and best external evidence. It then lists various computer systems, journals, and the Cochrane Library that can help find evidence. It explains how to formulate clinical questions using the PICO framework and identifies the best study designs to answer different types of clinical questions. An example clinical question is provided. Finally, it lists several websites that provide evidence-based care guidelines, journal reviews, and other pediatric EBM resources.
The document discusses Objective Structured Practical Examination (OSPE), a type of practical exam used to assess clinical skills. It defines OSPE as an exam that uniformly and objectively tests each component of clinical competence for all students. Key features noted are that it tests both the process and product, uses broad content and objective scoring rubrics. OSPE consists of multiple stations that assess different skills over time periods like 4-15 minutes as students rotate through.
This document discusses different types of epidemiological studies, with a focus on experimental studies and randomized controlled trials (RCTs). It describes the key features of RCTs, including that they: (1) involve randomly allocating subjects into study and control groups to receive or not receive an intervention, (2) aim to control for confounding factors through randomization, and (3) are considered the gold standard for evaluating interventions due to their ability to minimize bias. The document outlines the basic steps in conducting an RCT, from developing a protocol to randomization, intervention, follow-up, assessment and analysis. It also discusses types of RCTs and their importance in evaluating treatments, prevention, risk factors and more.
The document discusses Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) and Objective Structured Practical Examination (OSPE), which were developed to assess clinical skills in a more objective and structured manner compared to traditional practical exams. OSCE/OSPE involve assessing students through multiple stations that evaluate specific skills like history taking, physical exams, and procedures. The document outlines the purpose, history, development, administration and advantages of OSCE/OSPE, such as being more objective and reproducible. Potential disadvantages include being time-consuming and expensive to implement. Examples of exam stations and checklists are also provided.

This document provides a table with 5 developmental milestones and the typical age ranges in months when children achieve each milestone. It also includes instructions for an exam, where students will be tested on their knowledge of the ages associated with each milestone and scored on their answers. The milestones are: 1) lifting the head and chest at around 3 months; 2) transferring objects between hands at around 4 months; 3) standing alone at around 11 months; 4) sitting without support at around 6 months; and 5) crawling or creeping between 10-12 months. The examiner will check students' answers and score them as correct (1 point) or incorrect (0 points).

Comparative study of foliar application of various beer products and sakkara ...Open Access Research Paper
油
Cucumber (Cucumis sativus) is an important vegetable crop in the tropics. Beer brewing is an intricate process encompassing mixing and further elaboration of four essential raw materials. Sakkara, Sri Lankan name for jiggery made by sugar cane stem extract. Sakkara Brewing (SBr) is also an intricate process like beer. It has reported that foliar application of beer and SBr resulted in significant growth stimulation in plants. The objectives of the present study were to compare the effects of five commercially available beer products and SBr on growth, flowering and fruit setting of cucumber plants. The study was conducted at farmers poly tunnel in a Completely Randomize Design with seven treatments randomized in five replicates. The treatments were T1 Carlsberg Special Brew (8.8% Ethanol), T2 Carlsberg (4.8% Ethanol), T3 Lion Strong (8.8% Ethanol), T4 Lion Stout (8.8% Ethanol), T5- Lion Larger (4.8% Ethanol), T6 SBr (2.2% ethanol, 4% methanol, 2.4 x 104 yeast cells per 1mm3 and PH= 3.36) and T7 Control (without spraying). Plants were established in pots and standard crop management practices were done. Products were sprayed to the seedlings 15 days after sowing and continued 6 times at 10 days intervals. Measurements were taken on growth, flowering and Fruit setting stages. The higher values of plant growth, reproductive and yield parameters were observed in beer and SBr applied treatments compared to control. SBr is very low cost product compared to commercially available beer. So, it can be recommended for vegetable cultivation as economically feasible and eco-friendly organic product.
