Date of Service: April 25, 2011 Time Spent: 3 Hours Total Time: 9 Hours
Actions: My mentor taught me more about the shoulder and rib cage
Next Action: I plan to come tomorrow on the 26th to learn how to test the shoulder's range of motion.
How am I doing? My mentor taught me all about the rib cage and the shoulder. We started with the clavicle which connects to the acromion and makes up a joint. We learned how to test to see if the clavicle is fractured; and example was the piano key test by pushing down on the end of it and seeing if it goes into the body. We went over the AC joint on the shoulder slightly and planned to go over it more the next time.

Mentoring/Service Hours 3
Date of Service: April 20, 2011 Time Spent: 2 Hours Total Time: 6 hours
Action: - We continued helping the athlete who was helped yesterday with his ankle.
- My mentor taught me how to wrap an injured achilles tendon.
Next Action and what: I next plan to work on April 25th and I plan to continue learning about the shoulder and start learning more about bones and ligaments in the hand.
How am I doing? We helped the player that was hurt yesterday by wrapping his ankle in ice and giving him stem therapy which gives a light tapping on the bone so that it doesn't swell. After that, Jo taught another intern I was working with and I how to wrap an injured achilles tendon. Chris, the other intern, and I practiced taping each other's ankle making sure the achilles didn't over stretch.

Action: - Other interns and I continued to study the shoulder.
- We helped an injured athlete
Next action: The next day on the 20th we are suppost to practice how to wrap anathlete with an achilles tendon injury.
How am I doing? The other interns and I helped out an athlete at Skyline College that hurt himself playing baseball. We checked out his ankle and it turned out to be a slight tear in a ligament. Earlier in the semester I was taught the different bones and ligaments in the ankle and we told him he had a slight tear in his anterior talofibular ligament which connects his talus and his fibula in the front side of his ankle. We started with wrapping his ankle with ice and told him to come back the next day for treatment since it was a new injury.

Date of Service: April 18, 2011 Time Spent: 2 hours Total Time: 2 hours
Action: - My mentor taught me about the different bones, ligaments, and joints in the human shoulder.
Next action: I'm going to be coming back on the 19th to continue learning more about the shoulder.
How am I doing? My mentor taught me the different bones, ligaments, and joints on the shoulder and how to find them. Using a non-toxic markers, other interns and I traced the differents bones and ligaments on each other and did some tests on how to treat an injured shoulder. After that, Jo, my mentor, showed us images of broken bones on the shoulder such as on the clavicle or the humerus and how they could cause nerve damage since there are nerves directly under the clavicle.
