Exposure Control and Equipment Maintanence

Today I learned about exposure control including proper barrier use.  It seemed pretty confusing, but once I figured out the reasoning behind everything and my way of remembering exactly how and where to put everything, I seemed to do okay with it.  New things are hard to remember exactly, but I think I have it down okay after practicing.

I passed off my Personal Protection PE!  YAY!

I was also able to practice using my Blue Boa (with both attachements), slow speed suction, and high speed suction on Kristen.  It was a good experience to feel and see how things work in a patient's mouth.  Her feedback on the comfort and tolerance of it was very helpful!

Overall, today was a success!  I have great insturctors who have a lot of patience with me and other classmates.  They were very helpful in guiding me how to use all of the equipment properly to fit my left-handed needs :)  I hope that this semsester will continue to be a success as I learn to stay organized and on top of all my class work.
