Pathology and prescription rights
15.0 ECTS creditsThis is a course in Medical Science (15 ECTS cr). Instruction is in the form of lectures, assignments, and group work. The course is partly net-based and different information and communication techniques are used. Students study independently, in groups, and in on-campus meetings.
Pharmacological concepts, their meaning and importance to prescription and the use of medicinal products are studied. Pharmacological interactions and risks are treated. FASS and the pharmaceutical handbook are studied to ensure safe handling of medicinal products.
Pathology, diagnosis, examination, and treatment are treated in depth in relation to the following areas of the nurse's prescription rights: mouth and throat, stomach and intestines, nutrition, wounds, skin infection, eczema, face and scalp, skin, infection, urinary tract and genital organs, maternity care, pain, ear-nose-throat, and eyes.
Pedagogy is studied in relation to instructing patients. On the basis of the public health nurse's field of work, quantitative methods are studied and analysed with regard to the purpose, design, data collection, and analysis methods of different studies on medicinal products that nurses with prescription rights can prescribe, and their reliability and validity. Different statistical methods and their usage are also treated.
The nurse's prescription rights and pharmaceutical handling are treated in relation to ordinances and regulations. Students practise assessing the need of medicinal products in terms of assessment support and discuss the effect of incontinence products on the environment, for example, as well as prescribing pharmaceuticals and medical aids.
