independent component 2

Preparing surgical equipment to be put in autoclave to be sterilized

pitbull puppy that had a urinary tract infection that was placed under my care and had to provied medicine for it

Literal

(a)I, Jose Rodriguez, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 30 hours of work.

(b) i worked at Tender Loving Care Animal Hospital and i was pretty much an assistant there and was able to also do hands on work on basic things that need to be done around  the practice. the jobs that would be given to me would range from simple stuff like laundry and sweeping but also included many other jobs like preparing and sterilizing the equipment as well as preparing the animals for surgery and cleaning the area that the incision would be mad and also just monitoring the animals after the surgery was done to see if they responded after surgery.

Interpretive

it shows proof of 30 hours of work because everything that i learned isnt something that you could do in one day and you must know certain things in order to perform them. i also learned a new set of skills that i would be unable to learn any where else

Applied

This helped me answer my essential question because being able to work so closely with Dr. Casillas and all of the great surgical team on staff was a wonderful experience because they had confidence in me and allowed me to be able to get hands on experience working with the animals and kind of ginving me a preview on what to expect in school and working in an animal hospital. Also getting lots of advice from the doctor allowed me to always ask questions on why this happened and to gain a further understanding on somethings that werent very clear to me at first and offered great insight on lots idead that my answers are based on.
