One takeaway from the Naloxone presentation is the information about how prevalent overdoses are in BC. How we are likely to see an overdose in our community and how crucial it is that we be prepared and have the knowledge to help potentially save someone’s life. The second takeaway is how to use the product. How to properly open the ampule, and administer the drug to the overdosing individual. The third takeaway is how to acquire Naloxone. That we can go to a pharmacy and pick up a kit free of charge. The impact of this session is very heavy. I now have the knowledge of how to potentially save someone from overdosing, and the knowledge that an overdose is very likely in our community.

Critical and Reflective Thinking Competency Reflection

I can analyze evidence to make judgements. From the evidence provided from the presentation about the prevalence of overdoses, I can make the judgement that it is a large problem in the community. It is good that we better know how to manage it.
