The student can describe the process and concepts of intensive care work only partially. He can work in various tasks according to the assignment. He connects the theoretical basis and the presented action models, but does not necessarily understand their meanings. The action models presented by the student are not justified and the reflection is only rarely critical.
Assessment criteria: level 1 (assessment scale 1–5)
The student can fluently describe the process and key concepts of intensive care work. The student understands the importance of the previous theoretical basis in patient care, but is not fully able to apply it. The student knows how to act in complex or unpredictable work situations. The student can present justified methods of operation in the care of an intensive care patient, and the reflection is partly critical, and partly shows independent thinking.
