What is the best way for a physical therapist to maximize patient satisfaction?

During the last day with my mentor, there were 2 students who were there with me. These university students were aspiring to be real physical or occupational therapists and were going to school to do so. A requirement to get your license is that you have to volunteer in multiple clinics for a # of hours in each one. Both of them were white girls that both had some experiences with horses, but I think these factors are a lot more likely because we were in Norco. Both of them didn't know if they would go into pediatric therapy, but they did enjoy their time there. They specifically enjoyed the ranch and working with the horses. How the workers feel and act in the workplace has a big effect on how the patient and the family feel and respond to what's happening in front of them.
Blog 19: Independent Component 2
LITERAL
(a) Include this statement: “I, student name, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents ___ hours of work.”
INTERPRETIVE
Defend your work and explain the component's significance and how it demonstrates 30 hours of work. Provide evidence (photos, transcript, art work, videos, etc) of the 30 hours of work.
APPLIED
How did the component help you answer your EQ? Please include specific examples to illustrate how it helped.
(a) Include this statement: “I, student name, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents ___ hours of work.”
- I, Michael Sadrach, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 14.5 hours of work.
- Mrs. Hunzeker and Mr. Rivas.
- Done.
- I found many sources for my WB and took notes on most of them in a notebook.

- I probably would've transferred from Ipoly if I didn't put in the work in my independent component. I didn't want to do it many times and it was hard and painful to do and that's why it counts as work.

- Some of the sources I found will be used as citations because they provided useful information that will help me support my answers. One of them states that the therapist-patient relationship is more important than the actual treatment for treatment success, which is very helpful in supporting my first answer. Another one of my sources has a lot of info about the environment in a facility which helps support my second answer.

March Blog
April Fools! It's still March 31st.
I met a girl that was disabled and used a walker to walk. What was special about her was that her knee caps were nonexistent. She kinda looked like those half goat, half human creatures in mythologies and it was pretty interesting because she didn't just do physical therapy. She also did occupational therapy, where kids work on doing daily activities, like tying shoes, writing, and listening. My mentor told me even though some kids need physical therapy, she will recommend the doctor to give them occupational therapy because they don't focus enough, or they don't respond. She also said that physical and occupational therapy goes hand in hand a lot of the time.
