Topics include the construction types, scoring and mechanics of taking the exam along with practice in taking both written and computerized simulation exams, and basic concepts of computer usage. Prerequisites: RSPT 1361, RSPT 1362, RSPT 2260, RSPT 2258, RSPT 1310, RSPT 1240, RSPT 1311, RSPT 1325, RSPT 2317, RSPT 2314, RSPT 2266, RSPT 2255, RSPT 2310, RSPT 2233, RSPT 2325, RSPT 2353 CAPSTONE (the student must be in the semester of graduation to be eligible to take this course) Corequisites: RSPT 2261, RSPT 2239 Course Goals: The course goals are to prepare the student to successfully sit for the National Board for the Respiratory Care Written Registry and Clinical Simulation examinations. The course will also incorporate a portion of the SCANS competencies as they apply to the use of technology, the application of critical thinking skills and the comprehension and application of systems knowledge. SCANS Competencies: Resources C1 Allocates time Description: Selects relevant, goal-related activities, ranks them in order of importance, allocates time to activities, and understands, prepares, and follows schedules. Competent performance in allocating time includes properly identifying tasks to be completed; ranking tasks in order of importance; developing and following an effective, workable schedule based on accurate estimates of such things as importance of tasks, time to complete tasks, time available for completion and task deadlines; avoiding wasting time; and accurately evaluating and adjusting a schedule. Objective: Complete assigned self paced computer practices. Description of Module: Students will demonstrate the use of time and technology by successfully completing the assigned computer-based clinical simulations and exams. Resources C2 Allocates Money

2 Description: Uses or prepares budgets, including making cost and revenue forecasts, keeps detailed records to track budget performance, and makes appropriate adjustments. Competent performance in allocating money includes accurately preparing and using a budget according to a consistent and orderly accounting method; accurately calculating future budgetary needs based on projected costs and revenues; accurately tracking the extent to which actual costs and revenues differ from the estimated budget, and taking appropriate and effective actions. Objective: Raise funds to help finance class activities. Description of Module: Students will demonstrate the use of resources by successfully planning fund raising events to help finance extracurricular activities.
