CPR Reflection

After completing this CPR unit, I’ve learned that being vocal and working at a fast pace is a major part of knowing how to do CPR. When in a (theoretical) emergency I practiced being direct with verbal instruction to my partner and worked quickly through the steps of the 4 R’s to save the CPR dummy. The key takeaway from this CPR unit is that there are many reasons to why someone may have a heart attack and what steps I can do it help save them. Another key takeaway includes the symptoms to look for if someone is having a heart attack and knowing that I am trained and can perform CPR confidently. The CPR unit relates to the nutrition unit as we learned what type of diet can cause/increase the chances of having a heart attack and why certain nutrients cause them. I discovered that a build up of plaque in the heart’s arteries can cause a lack of normal heart rhythm, leading to a heart attack.

Core Competency Reflection

I take on roles and responsibilities in a group; I do my share.

I chose this one because I demonstrated it when I was put into a group to practice how to use an AED. Not everyone wanted to try it out first so I stepped up and showed the group how to use it.

I can identify and describe my qualities.

I chose this one because I was able to reflect and explain what things I did well and what things I could work on for the CPR (physical) test. I recognized that I followed instruction appropriately and went through all the steps of CPR efficiently. I also noticed that I could be a bit more vocal to my partner.

I can show a sense of accomplishment and joy. I take pride in my work and  myself.

I chose this one because I showed my joy when I got my mark back for both written and physical CPR tests.

I chose this one because I participated consistently throughout the whole CPR unit. I was able to answer questions my teacher asked me during the learning portion, and listened appropriately when my teacher gave out instructions.
