Intended learning outcomes
The course intends to increase the students' ability to handle situations where acutely ill/injured individuals are
involved and to increase the students' knowledge and understanding of the organisation of acute healthcare and
the importance of cooperation between different professions. On completion of the course, the student should be
able to:

Evaluate an acutely ill patient and consider primary measures and be able to discuss prioritising of
patients

Show the ability to take in acutely ill/injured individuals and reflect on his/her own and others' actions,
and identify areas of improvement in X-ray

Be able to discuss diagnostic radiology and methodology in commonly occurring acute pathologies

Show the ability to carry out commonly occurring acute radiography examinations

Inform, communicate and take care of acutely ill patients and their relatives in a professional way

Take care of an apparently lifeless individual in an appropriate way with specialisation in children

Explain according to which principles children can be taken care of in radiography examinations

Carry out pharmaceutical calculation
Course content

Treatment of commonly occurring acute diseases and radiography of these

Basic nursing in intensive and emergency care

Nursing interventions and medically indicated measures in connection with acute diseases

Organisation and cross-professional cooperation in emergency care, intensive care and acute
radiography

Children in X-ray

Child CPR

Placement in X-ray with a focus on acute radiography

Pharmaceutical calculation. Dimensional analysis, unit replacement, simple equation solving, percentage
conversions and calculations for dilutions
Course delivery
Teaching and learning activities take place through introductory and inspiring teaching within different fields of
emergency care on X-ray, and on the X-ray of children. The lectures take place partly on campus, via the
distance-bridging technology Adobe Connect and through recorded lectures in Fronter. The students acquire
knowledge and practise reaching the learning objectives via the placement. Via the assessment conversation, the
student may exercise evaluation of himself/herself and his/her knowledge and need for further knowledge. In the
course, compulsory laboratory sessions are included in child CPR, emergency care and patient case with
simulator doll.
Examination
The aim of the course and the students' professional competence are examined and assessed through the
evaluation conversation from the placement but also through and seminars and laboratory sessions within
emergency care and acute diagnostic imaging. The more theoretical aims are examined through a digital
examination.
Alternative examination formats may be used.
Only one re-examination/transfer is given for the course in relation to the placement. If there are special
circumstances, additional retakes/transfers can be granted.
Special circumstances are those stated in Regulations of the National Agency for Higher Education HSVFS
1999:1.
Additional information
This is a first-cycle course.
Study supervision is in the course room in Fronter.
"To do a placement in and carry out this course must you have passed the placement on the most recent course".
