Content
Microscopy
Cell-chamber counting
Body fluid analyses
Urine cell count
Microscopic analysis of urine cells and particles
Quality control and assessment
Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1-2)
The student has attended all practical training sessions and has performed all the practice exercises under supervision. The student knows the preanalytical factors of body fluid tests but has limited knowledge of the theoretical content of the module. The student knows the basic principles of cell counting and can perform cell counts under supervision. The student can microscopically identify leucocytes, erythrocytes, small epithelial cells, squamous epithelial cells and yeast at a basic level. The student can identify tubular cells and urinary casts under supervision. The student can identify urine microscopy findings only partially when using a microscope independently.
Assessment criteria, good (3-4)
The student has attended all practical training sessions and has participated actively. The student can perform the practice exercises almost independently and can justify his/her decisions. The student knows the preanalytical factors of body fluid tests and can explain their significance. The student has a good command of the theoretical content of the module and can analyse the theoretical knowledge related to the subject. The student knows the principles of cell counting and can perform relevant calculations. The student can microscopically identify leucocytes, erythrocytes, small epithelial cells, squamous epithelial cells and yeast at a basic level and can identify tubular cells and urinary casts. The student can identify almost all urine microscopy findings when using a microscope independently.
Assessment criteria, excellent (5)
The student has attended all practical training sessions and has participated actively. The student can perform the practice exercises independently, justify his/her decisions and solve problems that may arise. The student knows the preanalytical factors of body fluid tests and can explain their significance. The student has an excellent command of the theoretical content of the module.
