Clinical acid-base chemistry forms an integral part of the education of medical professionals, and is essential for the management of many patients in an acute care setting. Traditional approaches to this topic make use of over-simplified arguments. This course will teach you about Stewart’s model, how it uses a formal solution equilibrium approach which facilitates a clearer understanding of the process.
Assessment
This course does not involve any written exams. Students need to answer 5 assignment questions to complete the course, the answers will be in the form of written work in pdf or word. Students can write the answers in their own time. Each answer needs to be 200 words (1 Page). Once the answers are submitted, the tutor will check and assess the work.
