Managing exercise prescriptions

Beneath the Add prescription button in the prescriptions section is the list of prescriptions currently in the exercise.

Each prescription appears as an item in the list and is displayed with it’s medication name.

The prescription in the list that is highlighted orange is the prescription currently on display in the prescription preview pane. To look at another prescription in the preview pane, click on the Preview button for that prescription. It will turn that prescription item orange and display the script in the preview pane.

At the bottom of the prescription preview pane are arrow buttons next to the name of the prescription name. Clicking the left and right arrows will navigate between the prescriptions in the exercise and display them in the prescription preview pane.

Clicking the Edit button on the prescription item will open the prescription pane again with that prescription loaded where it can be edited.

The Copy button will add a copy of that prescription onto the end of the prescription. It copies all aspects of the prescription including the outcome.

The Delete button will immediately delete the prescription from the list and the exercise. There is no confirmation window so make sure that you are sure about the prescription being deleted.

On the far right there is an arrow button. Clicking and dragging this up or down will change the order of the prescriptions as they appear in feedback.

Normally prescriptions will be displayed in the order that they appear in the list, however the order can be randomised by checking the ‘Randomise order of prescriptions’ exercise option.

Randomising the order of prescriptions in the exercise will display them in a random order for the student to complete. The prescriptions will appear in the correct order during feedback, no matter the order they appeared in for the student.
