CLS 295 - Clinical Practicum II


Credits: 2
Description
A clinical rotation in chemistry, urinalysis, and body fluids.

Student Learning Outcomes
  1. Perform the necessary procedures to start up, program, and take results off a designated chemistry analyzer. (all necessary procedures performed and documented satisfactorily)
  2. Accurately perform chemistry profiles on clinical specimens. (patient and control samples must be within acceptable levels of accuracy for each determination)
  3. Accurately calibrate a designated chemical analyzer. (all necessary procedures performed and documented satisfactorily)
  4. Accurately determine ethanol and therapeutic drug levels on appropriate clinical samples. (patient and control samples must be within 5% accuracy)
  5. Accurately determine electrolyte values on serum and urine samples. (patient and control samples must be within 5% accuracy)
  6. Accurately determine LDL and HDL values on appropriate clinical samples. (patient and control samples must be within 5% accuracy)
  7. Accurately determine iron and/or TIBC levels in appropriate clinical samples. (patient and control samples must be within 5% accuracy)
  8. Accurately perform the necessary analyses to calculate a creatinine clearance. (patient and control samples must be within 5% accuracy)
  9. Accurately determine serum and urine osmolality measurements. (patient and control samples must be within 5% accuracy)
  10. Accurately determine urine protein levels on appropriate clinical samples. (patient and control samples must be within 5% accuracy)
  11. Perform necessary maintenance and quality control procedures on selected chemistry analyzers. (all necessary procedures performed and documented satisfactorily)
  12. Perform a complete urinalysis examination on 50 urine specimens. (correct physical characteristics; specific gravity +/- 0.002; chemicals +1 qualitative unit; all microscopic elements identified and quantified within 80% accuracy)
  13. Perform a pregnancy test, Clinitest, and Icotest on 10 specimens. (100% accuracy)
