This week’s assignment for Transitions to Practice was to complete the Adaptive Quiz for Pharmacology as the start of review for pharmacology content that is to come over the next couple weeks. Admittedly I was not as confident going into this quiz since it has been some time since our pharmacology course in the fall, but very important to start to review. My timing taking this exam wasn’t the best idea, I took it after getting home at a day at clinical and I was quite tired so I will not make that mistake next time when deciding to start to do an adaptive quiz at 7pm. My average time for each question was 30 seconds, which has gotten faster again since my last adaptive, and I think I can attribute this to when if I wasn’t familiar with a medication, I just took a guess when I really didn’t know the answer. I’m hoping that with more review and practice for pharmacology section I will be able to improve my average time per question for this subject. I believe my thinking has improved regarding the number of questions that the adaptive quiz will take, I just am expecting it now to go past 75 and then this time when it stopped at 82 I was happy. On this adaptive quiz, there started to be more hard rated questions and I would like to improve on my percentile of correct questions. One area of medications that I know I need to re-visit is insulins and the time of onset and patient education surrounding each type. Looking forward to getting more review on pharm questions these next couple weeks.
