List of questions for self-training in the discipline "current problems of HIV infection"
List of questions for self-training in the discipline "current problems of HIV infection"
Methodology for conducting assessment in the discipline "current problems of HIV infection", 4th, 6th courses
After the end of the classroom classes provided by the curriculum, a test is held, to which students who do not have academic debt and have scored at least 72 points for the current academic performance (current academic performance 72-120 points) are admitted.
Current control is carried out at each practical session in accordance with the specific goals of the topic and contains standardized forms of control of theoretical training and control of professional skills. Current control includes assessment of the level of knowledge (testing conducted online with independent preparation), oral or written express survey, test control using test tasks), assessment of the main stage of practical training (control of professional skills during the curation of patients, solving typical situational tasks of a higher level complexity), assessment of the final level of knowledge in the class (solving situational problems of the III level of complexity, interpretation of the results of laboratory and other methods of examination of the patient).
The form of the final modular control of the academic discipline includes control of theoretical training (using standardized tasks, test tasks) and control of professional skills (level III situational tasks) in accordance with the program.
Structure of PMK:
1. Test computer control - maximum score 20 points.
2. Written work - situational task and answer to theoretical questions - 60 points.
Example of written work.
1 Patient V., 19 years old, student. He turned to the polyclinic doctor with complaints about the increase in cervical lymph nodes, which he has been noticing for 3 months. Objectively: the skin is of normal color, the body temperature is normal, the condition is satisfactory. Traces of intravenous injections on the hands. Posterior cervical, supraclavicular and ulnar lymph nodes are enlarged up to 1 cm, axillary - up to 1.5 cm in diameter, dense, elastic, painless.
1 a. Formulate a clinical diagnosis.
1 b. Order studies to confirm the diagnosis, indicating the expected changes.
1 c. Assign etiotropic and pathogenetic therapy, mandatory prescribing.
Standards of answers to the problem
1. HIV infection. Clinical stage I, persistent generalized lymphadenopathy.
2. General blood analysis (normocytosis with relative lymphomonocytosis, atypical mononuclear cells more than 10%), immunological studies (decrease in the total number of T-lymphocytes in the blood, especially T-helpers 500 in 1 μl, T-killers; decrease in the CD4+/CD8+ ratio; significant increase in Ig A, G, E, D; reduced lymphocyte chemotaxis), virological methods (detection of viral RNA in the polymerase chain reaction), serological reactions (immunoenzyme and radioimmunoassays; immunoblotting ("western-blot") confirms the diagnosis when AT is detected against viral antigens p41 and p110).
3. Follow-up at the AIDS prevention center with quarterly examination and examination of CD4 count, viral load, detection of opportunistic infections. When CD4 cells decrease below 400 per μl, the appointment of antiretroviral therapy (for life).
Discipline points for students who have successfully completed the discipline program are converted to a traditional four-point scale based on absolute criteria as follows:
200-170 points - 5 (credited);
169.9-140 points - 4 (credited);
139.9-120 points - 3 (credited);
119.9 points and below - 2 (not counted).
