My three main takeaways from the two presentations would be recognizing when someone needs CPR or when someone is overdosing, how to conduct CPR properly or use of the Naloxone kit, and the significance of notifying emergency services as soon as possible. Expanding on those ideas I noted that the Naloxone kit is free and can be found at any local pharmacy in my neighborhood. As for CPR, I noted that just by performing CPR the chances of the person surviving rise significantly from about 10% to 40% which is highly significant and could play a huge factor in saving a life. To perform proper CPR you should be consistent at around 100-120 presses per minute. These processes require conducting certain procedures in a safe and reasonable manner in order to keep the affected person(s) safe. These three points are crucial in my life as especially as someone who is always engaging in sports, activities, and daily life, the chances of seeing someone go into cardiac arrest at some point in my life are quite high as I’m always surrounded by people in environments where some may not be best suited. Therefore having the skills of just being able to perform CPR or use an AED or Naloxone kit could be the savior in someone’s life and are very useful tools to have in our society especially.

Critical and Reflective Thinking Competency Reflection:

I can analyze my own beliefs and consider views that do not fit with them:

To analyze my own beliefs and evaluate viewpoints that contradict them, I begin by being open-minded and prepared to listen to diverse points of view. I feel this is shown in my everyday life as my beliefs are different from my friends, family, and others a lot of the time, which is okay as everyone sees the world from a different perspective. To make this a positive thing I engage in positive discussions with others who have opposing viewpoints, and am willing to change my view in response according to what they have to say.
