q26-50 Flashcards
The Kolb Learning Cycle represents the process of experiential learning, list and explain the four steps.
1 - Concrete Experience
(doing/having an experience
2 - Reflective Observation
(reviewing/reflecting on the experience)
3 - Abstract Conceptualisation
(concluding/learning from the experience)
4 - Active Experimentation
(planning/trying out what you have learned)
What is the term ‘Evidence Based Practice’?
An approach suggesting that professionalism does not solely rely on the person’s own experience but rely on their own methodology based on their own research
Why is keeping a reflective log important?
A reflective logbook is a personal record of experiences, thoughts, and learning moments, allowing individuals to critically analyze their actions and responses.
What do you understand by the term “NICE”. Give a definition
Stands for: National Institute for health and Clinical Experience
Provide guidelines for the promotion of good health
and clinical practice throughout the NHS through a
system of EBP
Base their guidelines on the best research
available, providing tools for others, lower in the
NHS tree, to consider EBP and to generate their
own research evidence for future health policies.
What are the five steps in evidence-based practice?
1 – Ask – Identify the question
2 – Acquire to obtain the best evidence
3 – Appraise to evaluate evidence
4 – Applying the evidence
5 – Analysing and adjusting the information
Outline the basic structure of a piece of reflective writing
Start with an Introduction to briefly set the scene and state the reflection’s purpose, then make a description (objectively recount the experience with relevant details)
Analyze feelings, thoughts, connections to learning, and personal growth, Conclusion: Summarize insights, discuss impact, and outline future actions.
- What is the difference between a surface approach and a deep approach to learning?
A deep approach is to learn a topic in depth enough to be able to re-use this information for other situations whilst surface level is only to learn the material on a basic level.
Whose responsibility is Health and Safety
Employer
Define the following health and safety terms ‘Hazard’, ‘Harm’, ‘Risk’.
Hazards are a object(s) or action that proves to be possibly harmful to your health, harm is the physical or psychological impact caused by a hazard, risk is the measure of how harmful a hazard could be.
List four categories of hazard.
Physical, Chemical, Ergonomical, Biological.
What is the most common cause of fatalities at work?
Manual Handling – 37%
What are the three most common causes of accidents in the workplace?
Manual Handling (37%)
Struck by an Object (20%)
Slips, Trips, and Falls (19%)
What training /induction might be expected by a new employee upon starting work?
Upon starting a new job, an employee might typically expect to receive health and safety briefings or training
What is the purpose of a risk assessment?
To identify what hazards exist, or may appear in the lab, and how they may cause harm and to take the steps to minimise them.
What information relevant to COSHH is to be found in the
Manufacturers Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)
An MSDS provides crucial COSHH data, including:
Identification: Product details.
Hazards: Potential dangers (health, flammability, etc.).
Composition: Chemical makeup.
First Aid: Treatment for exposure.
Fire Fighting: Extinguishing procedures.
Accidental Release: Spill cleanup.
It’s vital for COSHH assessments to understand and manage chemical risks in the workplace
What is your understanding of the term “good laboratory practice”?
Good laboratory practice (GLP) is a set of principles designed to guarantee the quality of nonclinical laboratory studies,
What are COSHH regulations? Give TWO examples of such substances
COSHH regulations in the UK mandate employers to control hazardous substances, protecting workers from health risks. Examples include cleaning chemicals and solvents
Give a definition of a “biological agent”
A biological agent is any living organism that can cause harm or disease in other living organisms.
What are Individual worker’s responsibilities?
Individual worker’s responsibilities include taking care of their own health and safety and that of others who may be affected by their actions at work. Workers must also co-operate with employers and co-workers to help everyone meet their legal requirements.
Give two routes by which a worker might pick up an infection in a laboratory
Careless use of pipettes and wire loops can create aerosols, which present a risk of infection.
Dropped plates and bottles create aerosols and present a risk of infection
Give an overview of the features of a containment level laboratory
Containment labs prevent biohazard exposure with increasing safety measures (CL1-4). Features include controlled access, decontamination, specialized surfaces, waste management, PPE, safety equipment, and controlled ventilation. Higher levels add more stringent controls
What four characteristics define professionalism?
The four characteristics that define professionalism are:
· Reflective practice
· Commitment to learning
· Decision making
· Professional knowledge
Why is regulation important?
Has potential for misuse.
Has companies under competitive pressure who may cut corners, can produce dangerous goods/services, it needs government regulations to protect consumers, it requires standards for fair competition, Needs regulatory authorities to set and enforce standards.
