Demonstrates Essential Mathematical Skills
Mathematical skills are used everyday even when you don't realize it. Math is used for everything, from what you pay at a store, to how long it takes you to get from point A to point B. I use math while at work, at home, and school.
As a surgical technologist, math is an even bigger part of you job duties then most realize. You use math to complete all counts needed, to relay to the nurse how much irrigation and medication is used, and to calculate patients total blood loss during a case. You have to be able to read and /or mix the percentage of medications needed and be able to label the medications while on the field and be able to make the doctor aware of the percent and medication while passing medication during the surgery.
My artifact is an evaluation done by a tech I worked with during a case, showing I perform counts correctly. This proves that I can use basic mathematical ability to solve equations that deal with medications and number of supplies in surgery to keep the patient safe at all times. You can see this in section three.
