Reverse Engineering to Ensure Course Competencies Are Linked to Clinical Proficiency
Journal of Continuing Education in Nursing
|June 25, 2019
Summary
Setting clinical competencies is crucial for higher education and continuing education programs. Aligning field-based clinical proficiency with course competencies ensures academic and service needs are met effectively.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Competency-Based Education
Background:
- Higher education and continuing education increasingly emphasize clinical proficiency and practice readiness.
- There is a need to align academic curricula with the demands of clinical practice.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe the principles and methods for establishing competencies in nursing education.
- To advocate for the integration of field-based competencies into academic program development.
Main Methods:
- The article discusses the theoretical and practical aspects of competency development.
- It emphasizes the importance of referencing clinical proficiency as a foundation for competencies.
Main Results:
- Field-based competencies, or clinical proficiency, should form the basis for course and program competencies.
- This approach ensures alignment between educational content and the needs of clinical service settings.
Conclusions:
- Establishing well-defined competencies is essential for preparing competent healthcare professionals.
- Aligning academic and service needs through competency-based education enhances the relevance and effectiveness of nursing programs.

02:04Covalently Linked Protein Regulators
8.8K
Proteins can undergo many types of post-translational modifications, often in response to changes in their environment. These modifications play an important role in the function and stability of these proteins. Covalently linked molecules include functional groups, such as methyl, acetyl, and phosphate groups, and also small proteins, such as ubiquitin. There are around 200 different types of covalent regulators that have been identified.

01:19X-linked Traits
58.3K
In most mammalian species, females have two X sex chromosomes and males have an X and Y. As a result, mutations on the X chromosome in females may be masked by the presence of a normal allele on the second X. In contrast, a mutation on the X chromosome in males more often causes observable biological defects, as there is no normal X to compensate. Trait variations arising from mutations on the X chromosome are called “X-linked”.

01:43Sex-linked Disorders
108.5K
Like autosomes, sex chromosomes contain a variety of genes necessary for normal body function. When a mutation in one of these genes results in biological deficits, the disorder is considered sex-linked.

01:14Diode: Reverse bias
1.8K
A diode is reverse-biased when the positive terminal of an external voltage source is connected to the n-type material and the negative terminal to the p-type material. This configuration opposes the natural direction of current flow through the diode, effectively increasing the width of the depletion region and the barrier potential. The reverse bias condition produces a minimal leakage current, primarily due to minority charge carriers. This leakage becomes significant when the reverse...

5.6K
The thermodynamic processes can be classified into reversible and irreversible processes. The processes that can be restored to their initial state are called reversible processes. It is only possible if the process is in quasi-static equilibrium, i.e., it takes place in infinitesimally small steps, and the system remains at equilibrium However, these are ideal processes and do not occur naturally. An ideal system undergoing a reversible process is always in thermodynamic equilibrium within...
