V. Classes/Practicums A. Written Test (100 points) The test will consist of 50 questions, each question worth two points. The questions on the nmffa.org website will serve as a study guide. The actual test questions will be drawn from the contest references. Participants will have a maximum of 30 minutes to complete the exam. Questions will come from the following areas:

• Behavior • Disease

(causes and sources, signs and symptoms) • Medical terminology • Medical records

• Anatomy/physiology • Regulations (federal OSHA, MSDS) • Patient management • Facility management • Genetics

Sample Written Exam Questions: Which of the following is the intermediate host for the dog tapeworm? A. Mosquito B. Rodent C. Flea D. Tick What is the primary body defense against bacteria that may cause disease? A. Skin B. Antibiotics C. Antigens D. Lymph nodes What route of administration deposits a drug into the blood vessel? A. Intravenous B. Intracardiac C. Intraperitoneal D. Intradermal B. IDENTIFICATION (100 points) The identification portion will consist of equipment/materials, exotic animal breeds and domestic animal breeds. There will be 50 stations with items taken from all applicable identification sheets. (two points each). The breeds and equipment will come from a file on the veterinary science CDE link located nmffa.org. Breeds and equipment may be high quality pictures, real animals or equipment. (Thirty minute time limit.) C. MATH APPLICATIONS PRACTICUM (100 points) The number of practicum questions will vary based on the type of activity that is assigned. Participants will have 30 minutes to complete the entire math application practicum. Questions may include conversions, dose calculations, dilutions, cost calculations and invoices. Example: Sophie, a golden retriever, and her owner have just moved from out-of-state and are reestablishing veterinarian relations at your clinic. Sophie’s owner has provided you with her health records from their previous veterinarian. Sophie had been prescribed a diet plan by the previous veterinarian and had been coming into the clinic for weekly weight checks. Sophie’s owner would like to continue the weekly checks with you. You weigh Sophie and record her weight as 19 kg. The owner would like you to tell her how much weight Sophie has lost. Sophie’s last recorded weight was 43.2 lb. How many pounds did Sophie lose since the last weighing? ANSWER: Sophie has lost 1.4 lb. since the last recorded weighing.

The student may correctly position slides, set up a microscope to identify internal and external parasites. The student will also correctly identify internal organs from cats, dogs, swine, cattle, sheep, goats, or horses. Each identification item will be worth four points. Animal body part may be high quality pictures or real body parts. Any online veterinary resource may be used from reference.

2. Individual Skill Practicum (100 points)

Students will have the opportunity to demonstrate multiple veterinary skills. No more than 2 skills will be taken from the list that is located on the veterinary science nmffa.org website

D. Veterinary Science Skills Individual Practicum Rotation 1. This practicum is designed to evaluate participant’s knowledge of and ability to evaluate common

laboratory, radiology and examination procedures performed in a veterinarians’ clinic. Some skills may require participants to complete posology calculations. A practicum may combine more than one skill which is listed for the designated contest year. In some cases, contestants may be provided a written scenario that they must assess to determine correct solutions. The practicums will alternate as noted:

• 2014

Demonstrating proper procedure for autoclaving a pack, Preparing a small or large animal surgical pack, Reading a digital radiograph (species, part of body, particular bone, type of fracture, which position taken), Demonstrating various positions as prescribed for radiology

• 2015

Filling a prescription using instruction from the veterinarian, Administering routine immunization to the most common small or large animals, Naming and locating common sites for venipuncture employed in all domestic animals

2016 Lifting techniques for small or large animals, Restraining an animal in a lateral, sternal or recumbence, Calculating dosage in a pill based on weight of the animal, Filling a syringe with medication
