1. "What factor is most significant in a successful angioplasty procedure?" and my answers are technique, medication, and lifestyle. My best answer would have to be technique because with angioplasty, judgments need to be made immediately on where things need to be opened and where things need other instruments such as stents or even lasers. This comes from years of training and it really matters how the doctor maneuvers through the body without causing more damage than there already is.
2. I went every Tuesday to Keck Hospital at USC and spent 4 hours every session with my mentor, Oralia Aragon NP, learning the principals of angioplasty. When i confronted her with my EQ, we derived answers from what she had been showing me and we concluded that all the answers were important in there on way but if in a perfect world everything went right, meaning the patient started living healthy and regularly took their medication than technique would be the most important.
3.I faced problems when it came down to research. After the 30-40 article, everything began to seem repetitive and useless. What helped resolved it was the ESA. Using the Bronco ID given to us by Mrs. Pittman, I was able to find hard facts and statistics to back up my claims and expand on what i already knew.
4.My primary source would have to be my numerous private intervews with Dr. Shavelle and Oralia Aragon. They helped me understand angioplasty more clearly and more in depth than just an average procedure. My secondary source would have to be Essential Angioplasty by E. von Schmilowski. It was a book literally on angioplasty, from the procedure and types techniques to the complications and medications.

Independent Component 2
Literal
a: I, Angel Arredondo, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 30 hours of work.
b: Schmilowski, E. Von, and Howard Swanton. Essential Angioplasty. Chichester, West Sussex, UK: Wiley-Blackwell, 2012. Print.
c: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AtzZW_LcuuBHdHhaaTQyY2ZYMGJweG5xcHA5MlhWTGc&usp=drive_web#gid=0
d: I followed my mentor around the entire hospital and evaluated patients and their illnesses regarding their hearts. In certain situations, she got me a "front row" view of a few procedures and they were actually very helpful in writing my Isearch paper. She also taught me about different types of medications we give our patients and how to manage their weight with exercise.
Interpretive
My component is significant to the integrity of my project because it taught me serious subjects pertaining to my answers. My mentor focused on my answers specifically and created a sort of curriculum. For medications, she taught me about the reactions and dosages and all these cool facts. Technique, obviously, was demonstrated in my sitting in's on the various angioplasty procedures. As for lifestyle, the consultations that we gave focused on how the patient should take care of themselves. Regarding the proof, I've turned a type letter to my house teacher with all my mentor's information. I'm not really allowed to take photographs.
APPLIED
Like I said before, my mentor created a curriculum surrounding me in topics related to my EQ. My answers are actually from her with some minor modifications. This component let me get a closer look into the aspects of a successful angioplasty down to the medication dosage. All in all, the component was a great experience and I look forward to continuing volunteering at the hospital.
