    This study introduces a computer-based acid-base interpretation drill for healthcare students. The program enhances learning engagement and reduces instructor workload in teaching acid-base balance interpretation.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Education
    • Clinical Chemistry

    Background:

    • Acid-base balance interpretation is a critical skill for healthcare professionals.
    • Traditional teaching methods can be tedious and less engaging for students.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and evaluate a computer-assisted learning tool for acid-base interpretation.
    • To enhance student engagement and understanding of acid-base disturbances.

    Main Methods:

    • A drill was programmed for Sharp PC-1211 and TRS-80 PC-1 computers.
    • The program generates random PCO2 and HCO3 values, calculates pH, and provides interpretation feedback.
    • It assesses user interpretations against predefined criteria.

    Main Results:

    • The computer program effectively guides users through acid-base interpretation scenarios.
