Blog 15: Independent Component 1


LITERAL
•    (a) Write: “I, Itzia Chavez, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 32 hours of work.”
•    (b) Rose Robledo, my guidance, has guided me throughout the volunteering work and in helping me complete this independent component. 
•    (c) Update your hours in your Senior Project Hours link. Make sure it is clearly labeled with hours for individual sessions as well as total hours.
•    (d) Explanation: Throughout my independent component, I was able to grasp a lot more knowledge than I thought I would. I was actually able to work more specifically on my senior project aspect, regarding my essential question and in learning new ways to answer it as I volunteered around the facility with filing papers, learning about patients, and connecting with people, like Nurse Rose, who would help me. 


INTERPRETIVE 

  • So, aside from my log, linked above, the only other proof I have is a letter from my mentor stating that I did 32 hours of work. I couldn't take any pictures due to confidentiality issues and patient procedures. 
APPLIED

  • The independent component helped me understand my foundation and answer # 1 to my essential question. Working side by side with my mentor, Cara Johnson, allowed me to understand patients and fully grasp the views of a nurse. I worked a lot more with patients for my independent component, especially because of my essential questions, which then lead back to answer. With this in mind, I was able to communicate with patients; I was able to shadow nurses who communicated with patients about critical answers to their procedures and medical outcome of their life. I understood both views of a problem, the patient's side and the nurse's. Eventually, I understood my topic a lot more in depth and soon enough my answer #2 came to mind. So, at the end of this component, I was able to learn a lot more on my topic, specifically answer #1 and come up with answer #2.
